Climatic determinants of acorn size and germination percentage of <em>Quercus rugosa</em> (Fagaceae) along a latitudinal gradient in Mexico

Climatic determinants of acorn size and germination percentage of <em>Quercus rugosa</em> (Fagaceae) along a latitudinal gradient in Mexico

Background. Abiotic constraints, historical effects of the last glaciation, and differential dispersal, have been proposed as potential explanations to account for the latitudinal decrease in acorn size of wide-ranging oak species distributed in the U.S. and Canada. Hypothesis. We specifically t...
