However, our understanding of plant reproductive dynamics remains limited due to the scarcity of long-term studies. Here, we propose a conceptual and methodological framework for tracking plant reproductive dynamics over long timescales using pollen, plant spore, and seed records preserved in sedimentary archives. The analysis of counts, morphology, and DNA from fossil propagules enables reconstruction of reproductive patterns over centennial to million-year timescales. When integrated with other palaeoproxies, these records provide insights into environmental drivers and eco-evolutionary consequences of reproductive dynamics. The proposed framework opens new avenues for optimising conservation strategies, safeguarding key ecological functions, and improving predictions of future biotic responses.</p>","PeriodicalId":23274,"journal":{"name":"Trends in ecology & evolution","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149224764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A central assumption in ecology is that demographic trade-offs, such as the slow-fast continuum, operate consistently across ontogeny. However, increasing evidence challenges this view. Seedlings experience high pest-driven mortality, strong environmental filtering, and stochastic variation in dispersal and microsite conditions, which can decouple early-life performance from adult demography. We synthesize recent developments suggesting that seedling trade-offs may either reflect a scaled-down version of adult dynamics or diverge into alternative axes, such as the recruitment-stature axis. Recognizing these shifts is important, as climate change is likely to further reshape the regeneration process and alter community assembly in future forests.</p>","PeriodicalId":23274,"journal":{"name":"Trends in ecology & evolution","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149196864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mixed trait-diversity associations are expected when the same trait influences multiple processes whose relative contributions vary across contexts.
