(Primary source): Researchers report results of a categorical multivariate analysis of the strengths of various associations of dioecy with other traits over all flowering plants |
| Comments |
Seven percent of angiosperm genera (959 of 13,500) contain at least some dioecious species, and ~6% of angiosperm species (14,620 of 240,000) are dioecious. The most consistent associations in the data set relate the presence of dioecy to monoecy, wind or water pollination, and climbing growth. |
