Demographic and reproductive analysis of Pectis imberbis A. Gray
Souther S and Aslan C. Demographic and reproductive analysis of Pectis imberbis A. Gray. Research Permit and Reporting System
Despite a large overall size (N = 794), growth rate for this population was below replacement level (λ = 0.9519). Browse by Coues deer negatively impacted demographic vital rates. Woody species and perennial grasses afforded protection against browse, especially for small individuals, but in the absence of browse, coincidence with heterospecific vegetation decreased growth, survival, and reproduction of P. imberbis. We observed 12 taxa of invertebrates interacting with P. imberbis flowers.
