For V. neoglutinosa, we measured the number of ramets produced by each mother-plant and the respective branching angles.
For A. nudicaulis, we mapped six clonal fragments and measured the number of ramets produced by each mother-plant, rhizome length and branching angle.
This study examined bee communities by sweep-net and pan-trap sampling and quantified the number of ramets of floral resources in native tallgrass prairie fragments and nearby ruderal areas (within 2.1 km) in Iowa, USA in the summer of 2004.
Here, we investigated the effects of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) amendments on cover, number of ramets, flowering effort and phenological timing of Gnaphalium supinum, an arctic-alpine widespread snowbed species.
Using stepwise regression, the best models to explain butterfly abundance included the coverage of forbs and the number of ramets in bloom in the strips, and indicated positive relationships between forbs and the butterfly community (R2 = 0.33 and 0.07, respectively).
Ramets per 100 m2 were measured by noting the total number of ramets in a plot and then converting that to 100 m2, a reflection of alterations to ramet density from fire-induced mortality.
Among the 40 ramets taken at each site, after removal of genet (i.e., clonal) repetitions the number of ramets available in the data set ranged from 4 to 34 per meadow.
The number of ramets in each culture tank was counted after 77 78 days following settlement of each founder.
The reported fitness-relevant measures included measures of plant reproductive success (such as the number of fruits, flowers, or seeds, fruit set, or seed set), plant size (such as biomass, leaf size, plant height, or number of ramets), survival rates, and germination rates.
Overall for transplanted mats, more ramets died than were recruited (mean change number of ramets per mat between years = -1.38; two-sided t-test, P = 0.01).
