The stochastic, discrete analogue of the marginal value theorem predicts that as the cost of moving between plants increases, bees should increase the percentage of the available flowers which they visit per plant. This prediction was tested

The optimal allocation for both seed and vegetative reproduction is analysed for hypothetical perennial plants with three stages of growth (seedling, juvenile and mature). The density-dependent transition matrix model, which describes the density-dependent dynamics with a stage-specific pattern of r
