Glucocorticoids (GCs) are often interpreted as indicators of disturbance, habitat quality, and fitness in wild populations. However, since most investigations have been unable to examine habitat varia
Local abundance and regional distribution are two aspects of a species’ rarity. They are suggested to differentially alter genetic processes in plants: Locally rare species are hypothesized to suffer
Pollinator sharing can have negative consequences for plant fitness with the arrival of foreign (i.e. heterospecific) pollen, yet responses are often variable among species. Plant traits and relate
Individual differences in fecundity often serve as proxies for differences in overall fitness, especially when it is difficult to track the fate of an individual's offspring to reproductive maturity.
Reproductive fitness measures of transplants and vegetative fitness traits of the F1 seed progeny of translocated populations of Dianthus deltoides in southern Belgium. Fo more details, see V
