Architecture, size, and reproduction in plants : a pollination study of Mertensia ciliata (James) G. Don

Creator:: Geber, Monica
Abstract:: I experimentally test the hypothesis that the potential for selfing increases with plant size in Mertensia ciliata (Boraginaceae), a self-compatible, profusely-flowering perennial. This follows from the premises that 1) pollen dispersal by pollinators between flowers is limited, and 2) individual pollinators, in this study bumblebees, will visit more flowers per...

Analysis of a ³²P material balance method for measuring periphyton production in flowing water

Creator:: Gregory, Stanley Vincent
Abstract:: The ³²P material balance method for measuring periphyton production and grazing rates on periphyton in streams developed by Elwood and Nelson (1972) was evaluated by laboratory and field experiments. Three basic assumptions of the method were examined: 1) sloughing of periphyton from substrates is negligible, 2) sorption of ³²P onto...
