Seed production, seed populations in the soil and seedling production after fire for two congeneric pairs of sprouting and nonsprouting chaparral shrubs Seed production, seed populations in the soil and seedling production after fire for two congeneric pairs of sprouting and nonsprouting chaparral shrubs
A study of seed production, seed storage in the soil, and seedling production after fire was undertaken for a sprouting and a nonsprouting congenerica pair of species of Ceanothus and Arctostaphylos. All species exhibited large fluctuations in annual seed production. There was a significant correlation between fruit production and precipitation in the previous year. It is hypothesized...

Sterility among female lizards (Uta stansburiana) exposed to continuous gamma irradiation Sterility among female lizards (Uta stansburiana) exposed to continuous gamma irradiation
A natural population of the lizard Uta stansburiana occupying a fenced 9-ha area in southern Nevada was exposed to essentially continuous γ irradiation from an artificial source between February 1964 and September 1973. Tissue doses were estimated using implanted lithium fluoride microdosimeters. Females became sterile as early as 11 months of age, but many were still fertile at ages of...

Energy allocation patterns of a sprouting and nonsprouting species of Arctostaphylos in the California chaparral Energy allocation patterns of a sprouting and nonsprouting species of Arctostaphylos in the California chaparral
The r- and K-selection theory was used to generate testable hypotheses about patterns of energy allocation in two chaparral shrubs of different reproductive strategies. Terminal-branchlet vegetative and reproductive biomass of the nonsprouting Arctostaphylos glauca and the sprouting A. glandulosa were sampled in a 23-year-old and a 90-year-old stand of chaparral to test the predictions...
