The Major Veins of Mesomorphic Leaves Revisited: Tests for Conductive Overload in Acer saccharum (Aceraceae) and Quercus rubra (Fagaceae)
(Botanical Society of America, 2003)Many leaves survive the severing of their major veins in apparently excellent health. According to the classical explanation, the leaf minor veins provide "conductive overload," an excess of parallel conductive paths, ... -
Patterns of Variation in MHC Class II Beta Loci of the Little Greenbul (Andropadus virens) with Comments on MHC Evolution in Birds
(Blackwell Publishing, 2003)The hydraulic conductance of leaves (k<sub>leaf</sub>) was examined to determine whether this little understood component of the water transport pathway plays a role in governing leaf phenology of two deciduous dry forest ...
