The consecutive disparity index, D : a measure of temporal variability in ecological studies (2018, background): “…phenomenon that mainly consists in erratic and extremely variable production of fruits, combining years with very large fruit crops and years with very low fruit production, occurring synchronously among individuals (Kelly and Sork 2002, Koenig and Knops 2005, Fern andez-Mart ınez et al. 2016b).”
Allee Effects in Ecology and Conservation (2008, background): “Masting is sometimes irregular (e.g. dictated by weather conditions; Koenig and Knops 2005) and sometimes more regular (e.”
Using dynamic vegetation models to simulate plant range shifts (2014, background): “In nature, the occurrence of a masting event is related to large scale climatic cues, such as high summer temperatures during ENSO events (Koenig and Knops 2005).”
Climate cues and resources interact to determine seed production by a masting species (2011, background): “…also be acting to synchronize reproductive effort by manipulating endogenous plant process such as internal resource allocation (Bazzaz et al. 1987; Koenig & Knops 2005; Richardson et al. 2005) or producing environmental conditions beneficial to other facets of reproduction, such as pollen…”
