Reproductive biology, seed germination and regeneration of Flourensia DC. species endemic to Central Argentina (Asteraceae)

Six rare Flourensia endemic to Central Argentina can be considered at risk of extinction, and strategies should be implemented to protect them, such as to preserve its habitat together with attempts to increase their population sizes and maintain their pollinators.

Growing or reproducing? Assessing the existence of a trade-off in the globose cactus Gymnocalycium monvillei.

It was found that both seed production and total seed mass were significantly related to cactus size, however, growth was not related to seed mass or to seed production, even when they were relativized.

Surviving in semi-arid environments: functional coordination and trade-offs in shrubs from Argentina

An overview of leaf and wood traits indicates that the absence of a typical xeric characteristic in the wood might be compensated by the presence of a xeric leaf trait, and vice versa, and these trait combinations allow these species to survive in dry conditions and could influence their tolerance to increasing aridity.

Spine function in Cactaceae, a review

Surprisingly, there are few studies that analyzed species in environmental gradients or that analyzed the effect of spine removal, and the most studied function was thermoregulation, where spines protect the stem from extreme temperatures, followed by antiherbivory defense.
