For reasons that are as yet quite unclear, some plants of the same specie flower simultaneously and gregariously once in several years, a characteristic known as masting. Unlike plants that flower and fruit annually or biennially, masting is a pattern of reproduction in which an entire population of a species reproduce together. This entails a synchronicity in flowering and fruiting of a species – sometimes even in different continents – setting off a chain of events that may cause changes in the various animal populations in a forest.
