• Linkage between water stress tolerance and life history type in seedlings of nine chaparral species (Rhamnaceae) (2008, background): “Furthermore, there are likely other shortterm advantages for evolving an NS type, such as improved reproductive efficiency (e.g. greater seed to ovule ratios; Lamont & Wiens 2003).”
• Plant persistence traits in fire-prone ecosystems of the Mediterranean basin: a phylogenetic approach (2005, background): “Also, nonresprouters may increase offspring quantity by reducing generation time, that is, by maturing earlier (Wells 1969, Verdú 2002, Lamont and Wiens 2003).”
• The challenge of plant regeneration after fire in the Mediterranean Basin: scientific gaps in our knowledge on plant strategies and evolution of traits (2007, background): “According to the theory of Lamont and Wiens (2003), however, lower fire frequencies as claimed by Naveh (1975) might have been sufficient to select for such adaptations: Frequent renewal of the shoots after browsing or fire disturbance favours expressions of genets and ramets of beneficial somatic…”
• Fitness and evolution of resprouters in relation to fire (2011, background): “The second requirement is supported by the strong negative relationship between plant size (as a surrogate for age) and relative fruit set in Ceanothus tomentosus, Adenostoma fasciculatum, Banksia goodii, B. menziesii (Lamont and Wiens 2003), and B. attenuata (Fig.”
• Multi‐stemmed trees in montane rain forests: their frequency and demography in relation to elevation, soil nutrients and disturbance (2009, background): “There is no evidence that this is the case in fire-prone Mediterranean shrublands worldwide; speciation rates of persistent sprouters, with long-generation times, are not different from those of seeders (Bond & Midgley 2003; Lamont & Wiens 2003).”
• Fire as a Selective Agent for both Serotiny and Nonserotiny Over Space and Time (2020, background): “This might be exacerbated by their typically low annual seed set compared with nonsprouters (Lamont and Wiens, 2003; Pausas et al. , 2004).”
• The Evolutionary Ecology of Sprouting in Woody Plants (2003, background): “The idea that sprouting slows speciation has also been challenged by Lamont and Wiens (2003).”
