Bogdziewicz M, Fernandez-Martinez M, Bonal R, Belmonte J, Espelta J
Proc Biol Sci
. 2017 Nov;
284(1866).
PMID: 29093224
Masting is the highly variable production of synchronized seed crops, and is a common reproductive strategy in plants. Weather has long been recognized as centrally involved in driving seed production...

Fernandez-Martinez M, Vicca S, Janssens I, Espelta J, Penuelas J
New Phytol
. 2016 Sep;
213(2):669-679.
PMID: 27605135
Fruit production (NPP ), the amount of photosynthates allocated to reproduction (%GPP ) and their controls for spatial and species-specific variability (e.g. nutrient availability, climate) have been poorly studied in...

Sunyer P, Boixadera E, Munoz A, Bonal R, Espelta J
PLoS One
. 2015 Jun;
10(6):e0129844.
PMID: 26070129
The patterns of seedling recruitment in animal-dispersed plants result from the interactions among environmental and behavioral variables. However, we know little on the contribution and combined effect of both kinds...

Bonal R, Espelta J, Vogler A
Oecologia
. 2011 Jun;
167(4):1053-61.
PMID: 21674207
Trophic interactions can trigger the development of exaggerated specialized characters and promote morphological diversification. For example, acorn weevils (genus Curculio) present strikingly long rostrums, which are used by females to...

Sanchez-Humanes B, Sork V, Espelta J
Oecologia
. 2010 Nov;
166(1):101-10.
PMID: 21049300
The concept of trade-offs between reproduction and other fitness traits is a fundamental principle of life history theory. For many plant species, the cost of sexual reproduction affects vegetative growth...

Espelta J, Cortes P, Molowny-Horas R, Retana J
Oecologia
. 2009 Jun;
161(3):559-68.
PMID: 19544074
The contribution of pre-dispersal seed predation to inter-specific differences in recruitment remains elusive. In species with no resistance mechanisms, differences in pre-dispersal predation may arise from differences in seed abundance...

Espelta J, Cortes P, Molowny-Horas R, Sanchez-Humanes B, Retana J
Ecology
. 2008 May;
89(3):805-17.
PMID: 18459343
Temporally variable production of seed crops by perennial plants (masting) has been hypothesized to be a valuable mechanism in the reduction of seed predation by satiating and starving seed consumers....
