Higher levels of multiple paternities increase seedling survival in the long-lived tree Eucalyptus gracilis.
Studying associations between mating system parameters and fitness in natural populations of trees advances our understanding of how local environments affect seed quality, and thereby helps to predict when inbreeding or multiple paternities should impact on fitness. Indeed, for species that demonst...
