How does variation in traits of Tunisian oak seeds affect survival?
Oaks are the dominant species of tree in many Mediterranean forests. However, the climate of the Mediterranean basin is predicted to change dramatically. Will the make-up of the forests change similarly? To find out...

Ecophysiology of recalcitrant seed persistence
Dominant tree species in northern temperate forests, for example oak and beech, produce desiccation-sensitive seeds. Despite the potentially major influence of this functional trait on the regeneration and distribution...

Ecological significance of seed recalcitrance in Quercus
Several widespread tree species of temperate forests produce desiccation-sensitive seeds, but the ecological significance of this is largely unknown.
Biogeography of Tecophilaeaceae
Tecophilaeaceae is a small family with a peculiar disjunct distribution in California, Chile and southern and tropical mainland Africa, and occurs mainly in arid regions, including three Mediterranean-type ecosystems...
Growth and carbon budgets in Nothofagus
Growth decline with age in trees is hypothesized to be an effect of carbon limitation. By assessing carbon reserves and isotopes at different ontogenetic stages in the deciduous broadleaf tree Nothofagus pumilio (lenga...
