Variation in interaction zone size and influence of sex on fitness components of Valeriana edulis

Abstract

Sex and size allow for many different types of individuals within one species. These individuals can have different needs, which can influence responses to interaction, as well as what interactions take place between species members. We modeled how the sex and size of individuals of Valeriana edulis, a dioecious sub-alpine herb found across the western United States, influences the ways that they interact with neighboring members of their own species. This research could contribute to our ecological understanding of the role of sex and size in intraspecific plant interactions, which could have implications for species conservation under climate change.
