Island plants with newly discovered reproductive traits have higher capacity for uniparental reproduction, supporting Baker’s law
Abstract Uniparental reproduction is advantageous when lack of mates limits outcrossing opportunities in plants. Baker’s law predicts an enrichment of uniparental reproduction in habitats colonized via long-distance dispersal, such as volcanic islands. To test it, we analyzed reproductive traits at...
