We investigated how plant species' responses to soil texture might affect coexistence by analysing distributions, seedling emergence and performance, and competitive abilities of the winter annuals Clarkia speciosa ssp. polyantha and C. xantiana ssp. xantiana.
While undertaking their graduate studies, many library and information science (LIS) students seek pre-professional graduate assistantships. These assistantships can serve as excellent opportunities to complement student's education and influence their future careers by providing them with relevant on-the-job education and skills. Graduate assistantships are a crucial to LIS education in helping new LIS professionals develop skills and experiences needed to attain gainful, professional employment.
Using comprehensive demographic data for two well-studied, short-lived plants (Plantago coronopus, Clarkia xantiana), we show that the arrangement of species' demographic niches reveals key features of their environmental niches and geographic distributions.
