Abstract
Compares the demography of different populations of Phlox drummondii in reciprocally sown populations. Variation among populations was observed in all stages of the plant's life cycle. Survivorship and fecundity had a wide range of values. Populations with low values grew on sites either with little rainfall or high insect or fungal infestation. Populations exhibited home-site advantage.Suggested Citation
