Just out in @Ecol_Evol - the first Snell lab publication with former MSc student @abby_goszka
Seeds are critical for plant migration under climate change. Does weather increase/decrease seed production? https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ece3.6900#.X4byImwaJ8k.twitter

We found that frost-free days were the ONLY weather parameter that influenced seed production (frost is bad for flowers and seeds).
Other than that, it was individual tree characteristics (like DBH, growth, height) that were predictive of (1) if trees produced seeds at all, and (2) embryo presence and size
I am also strangely happy that this publication includes a flow diagram. I did my undergrad thesis with Lonnie Aarssen @QueensUBio who loved a good flow chart (I guess these things stick with you!)
