Genetic and spatial variation in vegetative and floral traits across a hybrid zone. [PDF]
Am J Bot, 2022 PremiseGenetic variation influences the potential for evolution to rescue populations from impacts of environmental change. Most studies of genetic variation in fitness-related traits focus on either vegetative or floral traits, with few on floral scent.

Convergence without divergence in North American red-flowering Silene
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Combinations of correlated floral traits have arisen repeatedly across angiosperms through convergent evolution in response to pollinator selection to optimize reproduction.

Floral Longevity of Paphiopedilum and Cypripedium Is Associated With Floral Morphology
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Floral longevity (FL) is an important trait influencing plant reproductive success by affecting the chance of insect pollination. However, it is still unclear which factors affect FL, and whether FL is evolutionarily associated with structural traits ...

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021 Floral traits associated with functional groups of pollinators have been largely employed to understand mechanisms of floral diversification. Hymenaea is a monophyletic legume genus widely recognized to being bat-pollinated, with nocturnal anthesis and ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Abiotic environmental factors are predicted to affect plant traits and the intensity of plant-pollinator interactions. However, knowledge of their potential effects on pollinator-mediated selection on floral traits is still limited.

AN ASSOCIATION BETWEEN A FLORAL TRAIT AND INBREEDING DEPRESSION [PDF]
Evolution, 2000 Inbreeding depression is a general phenomenon that is well documented in many plants and animals. Furthermore, it is generally considered to be the driving force behind mating-system evolution. Traditionally, the focus has been on the mean level of inbreeding depression in populations.

Phenotypic selection on floral traits in an urban landscape [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2018 Native species are increasingly living in urban landscapes associated with abiotic and biotic changes that may influence patterns of phenotypic selection. However, measures of selection in urban and non-urban environments, and exploration of the mechanisms associated with such changes, are uncommon.

The mean and variability of a floral trait have opposing effects on fitness traits [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2016 Floral traits are essential for ensuring successful pollination and reproduction in flowering plants. In particular, style and anther positions are key for pollination accuracy and efficiency. Variation in these traits among individuals has been well studied, but less is known about variation within flowers and plants and its effect on pollination and ...

Seasonal variation in the response of a monoecious crop to increased temperature and fertilizers
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Climate warming may affect the performance of plants directly through altering vegetative or reproductive traits, and indirectly through modifying interactions with their pollinators.
