The maternal environment determines the timing of germination in Pinus pinaster (2013, background): “…in basal area (cm2 year−1) 1.65 ± 0.15 13.6 ± 0.8 Number of cones per tree at age 9 3.8 ± 0.2 76.5 ± 11.0 Reproductive allocation (cones dm−2)c 15.8 ± 2.8 47.8 ± 4.1 a Sensu Emberger et al. (1963), i.e. the period during which the average minimum emperature is over 7 ◦C. b Average wind speed >…”
Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, neutral): “Germination timing is under extremely strong natural selection and influences phenotypic expression of and selection on post-germination traits as it is a major determinant of successful seedling establishment, survival, and colonization of a habitat (Donohue et al., 2010).”
Timing is everything: does early and late germination favor invasions by herbaceous alien plants? (2016, positive): “2015) and on the prevailing environmental conditions, including the strength of competitive interactions (Arthur et al. 1973; Donohue et al. 2010; Kardol et al. 2013; Rathcke and Lacey 1985).”
The genomics of local adaptation in trees: are we out of the woods yet? (2017, background): “For many plant taxa, selection pressures are expected to be strongest for variation in survival during the juvenile stages of development (Donohue et al. 2010), particularly for those taxa with high reproductive output, as is the case for many tree species.”
Ecological strategies begin at germination: Traits, plasticity and survival in the first 4 days of plant life (2020, background): “For example, evidence suggests that monocots and dicots evolved different germination and dormancy traits (e.g., Willis et al. 2014), which could carry into seedling development given the functional connection between seed and seedling stages (Donohue et al. 2010).”
Climate change and plant regeneration from seed (2011, background): “Germination is under strong selection due to its influence on the evolution of postgermination traits and on fitness (Donohue et al. 2010) and phenotypic plasticity is likely to be under strong selection as well (Jump & Peñuelas, 2005).”
Early bird catches the worm: germination as a critical step in plant invasion (2016, background): “Asynchronous germination is regarded as a major determinant of the ecological niche and distribution range of different plant species (Donohue et al. 2010), including weedy (Brändle et al. 2003) and invasive species (Gioria and Osborne 2013).”
Local adaptation and plasticity of Erysimum capitatum to altitude: its implications for responses to climate change (2013, background): “…and seedling establishment are critical life-history stages that strongly influence individual fitness and population dynamics (reviewed in Donohue et al. 2010), including alpine plant populations (Svensson et al. 1993; Gim enez-Benavides, Escudero & Iriondo 2007; Marcante, Winkler &…”
An inventory of invasive alien species in China (2012, background): “For example, germination is crucial for dispersal and to establish populations in new sites in order to expand in range (Theoharides and Dukes 2007, Donohue et al. 2010).”
Niche Breadth: Causes and Consequences for Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation (2020, background): “NB itself can also change across ontogeny, so breadth at one life stagemight not consistently predict breadth at other life stages (Figure 1.a.ii; Donohue et al. 2010).”
Regeneration: an overlooked aspect of trait‐based plant community assembly models (2016, background): “a population may germinate) could have explanatory power (Donohue et al. 2010).”
