Trade-offs between clonal and sexual reproduction in Sagittaria latifolia (Alismataceae) scale up to affect the fitness of entire clones

Abstract
Investigates the trade-off between resources allocated to sexual reproduction versus resources allocated to clonal growth. Investment in resources allocated to female reproduction limits the quantity of clonal propagules while investment in resources allocated to male reproduction limits the nutrient content (specifically Nitrogen) of clonal propagules.Suggested Citation
