Dear all, We are conducting a meta-analysis of the relationship between dispersal ability and life history traits in plants. However, finding maturity and longevity data for many perennials and for tropical woody plants has proved challenging. We are looking for data on the species listed below and would be grateful for any assistance. If you know of a published source, or happen to have unpublished data for these species, please contact us at* * [email protected]. (Please do not reply to list - we don't want to annoy everyone by filling up their inboxes!)
