Centro de Investigaciones sobre Desertificación CSIC UV, Camí de la Marjal s n Apartado Oficial, Valencia, Spain
Evolution 56:1352-61. 2002..Furthermore, this correlation is not a confounding effect of the association between age at maturity and other ecological factors that promote angiosperm diversification, such as pollination and seed dispersal systems...

Am Nat 172:751-60. 2008..The nested structure of facilitative networks explains why facilitation, by preventing extinction, preserves biodiversity...- Burning phylogenies: fire, molecular evolutionary rates, and diversificationMiguel Verdú
Centro de Investigaciones sobre Desertificación CSIC UV GV, Apdo Oficial, 46470 Albal Valencia, Spain
Evolution 61:2195-204. 2007..Although other factors such as the formation of isolated populations may trigger diversification, we can conclude that fire acting as a throttle for diversification is by no means the rule in fire-prone ecosystems... - Ovule discounting in an outcrossing, cryptically dioecious treeMiguel Verdú
Centro de Investigaciones sobre Desertificación CSIC UV GV, Apartado Oficial, 46470 Albal, Valencia, Spain
Evolution 60:2056-63. 2006..We discuss the possible reasons for why hermaphrodites invest resources into inferior pollen... - Similar gender dimorphism in the costs of reproduction across the geographic range of Fraxinus ornusMiguel Verdú
Centro de Investigaciones sobre Desertificación CSIC UV GV, Apartado Oficial, 46470 Albal, Valencia, Spain
Ann Bot 99:183-91. 2007..The contrasting ecological conditions found across the geographical range allowed the evaluation of the hypothesis that the reproductive costs of sexual dimorphism varies with environmental stressors... - Tempo, mode and phylogenetic associations of relative embryo size evolution in angiospermsM Verdu
Centro de Investigaciones sobre Desertificación CSIC UV GV, Apartado Oficial, Albal, Valencia, Spain
J Evol Biol 19:625-34. 2006..Thus, a passive diffusion away from a lower bound may explain the average increase in E : S... - Adaptive evolution of reproductive and vegetative traits driven by breeding systemsMiguel Verdú
Centro de Investigaciones sobre Desertificación CSIC UV GV, Camí de la Marjal s n Apartado Oficial, 46470 Albal Valencia, Spain
New Phytol 169:409-17. 2006..These results show that a selective regime hypothetically related to the evolution of a reproductive trait can also explain the evolution of a vegetative trait... - Bridging meta-analysis and the comparative method: a test of seed size effect on germination after frugivores' gut passageMiguel Verdú

Centro de Investigaciones sobre Desertificación CSIC UV GV, Camí de la Marjal s n Apartado Oficial, 46470 Albal, Valencia, Spain
Evolution 62:1676-88. 2008..Our results confirm that mating patterns are context-dependent and change seasonally, suggesting that sexual specialization can be driven by seasonal effects on fitness gained through one of the two sexual functions... - Paternal effects on functional gender account for cryptic dioecy in a perennial plantMiguel Verdú
Centro de Investigaciones sobre Desertificación CSIC UV GV, Apartado Oficial, 46470 Albal, Valencia, Spain
Proc Biol Sci 271:2017-23. 2004..Our results underscore the importance of considering progeny quality when estimating gender, and caution against inferring androdioecy on the basis of a siring ability of hermaphrodites alone... - Fire reduces morphospace occupation in plant communitiesJuli G Pausas
CEAM Centro de Estudios Ambientales del Mediterráneo, Paterna, Valencia, Spain
Ecology 89:2181-6. 2008.... - Siring success and paternal effects in heterodichogamous Acer opalusGabriela Gleiser

Ann Bot 101:1017-26. 2008..Here, the question is asked as to whether the different morphs in Acer opalus, a species in which males co-exist with heterodichogamous hermaphrodites, differ in various components of male in fitness... - Trait divergence and indirect interactions allow facilitation of congeneric speciesElisa Beltrán
Centro de Investigaciones sobre Desertificación, CSIC UV GV, Valencia, Spain
Ann Bot 110:1369-76. 2012..However, some examples of facilitation between congeneric species, which are supposed to be closely related species, have been found in nature...
