Three keys to the radiation of angiosperms into freezing environments
- A. Zanne, D. Tank, +23 authors J. Beaulieu
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 6 February 2014
Early flowering plants are thought to have been woody species restricted to warm habitats. This lineage has since radiated into almost every climate, with manifold growth forms. As angiosperms spread… Expand
Double-blind review favours increased representation of female authors.
- A. Budden, T. Tregenza, L. Aarssen, J. Koricheva, R. Leimu, C. Lortie
- Psychology, Medicine
- Trends in ecology & evolution
- 2008
Double-blind peer review, in which neither author nor reviewer identity are revealed, is rarely practised in ecology or evolution journals. However, in 2001, double-blind review was introduced by the… Expand
High productivity in grassland ecosystems : effected by species diversity or productive species ?

Summary
1
Using a sample of 24 common deciduous angiosperm trees of the Eastern Deciduous Forest region of North America, we tested the hypothesis that leaf size variation across species can be… Expand
On the relationship between r/K selection and environmental carrying capacity: a new habitat templet for plant life history strategies.
- D. Taylor, L. Aarssen, C. Loehle
- Biology
- 1 June 1990
We propose a revision of the habitat templet approach for modelling the relationship between r/K selection and selection related to the level of resource impoverishment within vegetation. The latter… Expand
Ecological Combining Ability and Competitive Combining Ability in Plants: Toward a General Evolutionary Theory of Coexistence in Systems of Competition
- L. Aarssen
- Biology
- The American Naturalist
- 1 December 1983
The common assumption that species coexistence in nature can be generally explained by processes of natural selection for niche differentiation does not have strong empirical support for plants. The… Expand
No consistent effect of plant diversity on productivity.
- M. Huston, L. Aarssen, +9 authors D. Wardle
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 25 August 2000
Hector et al . ([1][1]) reported on BIODEPTH, a major international experiment on the response of plant productivity to variation in the number of plant species. They found “an overall log-linear… Expand
Allometry and development in herbaceous plants: functional responses of meristem allocation to light and nutrient availability.
- S. Bonser, L. Aarssen
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of botany
- 1 March 2003
We examined the relationship between meristem allocation and plant size for four annual plant species: Arabidopsis thaliana, Arenaria serphyllifolia, Brassica rapa, and Chaenorrhinum minus. Gradients… Expand
Death without sex—the ‘problem of the small’ and selection for reproductive economy in flowering plants
- L. Aarssen
- Biology
- Evolutionary Ecology
- 1 May 2008
Most of the resident plants within vegetation fail to leave descendants because of death without sex—i.e. sexual reproduction fails (zero fecundity), primarily because of relatively small plant size.… Expand
The separation of above- and below-ground competition in plants A review and critique of methodology
- C. McPhee, L. Aarssen
- Biology
- Plant Ecology
- 1 February 2001
The relative merits of different methods for separating root and shoot competition in plants are reviewed. The `Divided Pot' technique involves vertical partitions that divide above- and below-ground… Expand
