Contrasting reproductive strategies despite convergent traits for two dryland river-floodplain species
W. Higgisson, L. Broadhurst, F. Shams, B. Gruber, F. Dyer
This study compares reproductive strategies of two dryland river-floodplain plants, finding that while both use sexual reproduction, one relies more on asexual reproduction and self-fertilization, leading to distinct genetic structures influenced by hydrology.
