Mast seeding is one of the most intriguing reproductive traits in nature. Despite its potential drawbacks in terms of fitness, the widespread existence of this phenomenon suggests that it should have evolutionary advantages under certain circumstances. [...]

Many plant species present inter-annual cycles of seed production (mast seeding), with synchronized high seed production across populations in some years. Weather is believed to be centrally involved in triggering masting. [...]

Los mecanismos responsables de la colonización y coexistencia de las especies en los hábitats, es uno de los mayores rompecabezas en ecología de comunidades. Varias teorías, entre ellas la teoría de nicho, neutral y de coexistencia, han intentado explicar la biodiversidad observada en los ecosistemas naturales como el resultado de procesos determinísticos, neutrales o una combinación de ambos, respectivamente. [...]
The mechanisms driving species colonization and coexistence in habitats, is one of the main puzzles in community ecology. Several theories, including niche, neutral and coexistence theories, have tried to explain the biodiversity observed in natural ecosystems as the result of deterministic, neutral, or a combination of both processes, respectively.

Synchrony between seed growth and oogenesis is suggested to largely shape trophic breadth of seed-feeding insects and ultimately to contribute to their co-existence by means of resource partitioning or in the time when infestation occurs. [...]

La majoria de plantes perennes produeixen llavors cada any, però n'hi ha algunes que mostren un comportament reproductiu estrany: les seves poblacions produeixen extraordinàries collites de manera erràtica i sincrònica, però passen alguns anys pràcticament sense reproduir-se. [...]
Summary: Masting plants: Why combine abstinence and lust in reproduction? - Most perennial plants produce seeds every year, but some species show a bizarre reproductive behaviour: they produce bumper crops randomly and synchronously in some years, while in other years they produce virtually no seeds.

Masting is the highly variable production of synchronized seed crops, and is a common reproductive strategy in plants. Weather has long been recognized as centrally involved in driving seed production in masting plants. [...]

Mast seeding, the extremely variable and synchronized production of fruits, is a common reproductive behavior in plants. Weather is centrally involved in driving masting. Yet, it is often claimed that it cannot be the sole proximate cause of masting because weather is less variable than fruit production and because the shape of their distributions differ. [...]

Escaping seed predation is a classic "economy of scale" hypotheses (predator satiation hypothesis, Psh) to explain the selection for the synchronous production of massive and nil seed crops (masting) in plants. [...]
