Flowering Phenology Adjustment and Flower Longevity in a South American Alpine Species
Plants, 2021 Delayed flowering due to later snowmelt and colder temperatures at higher elevations in the alpine are expected to lead to flowering phenological adjustment to prevent decoupling of peak flowering from the warmest time of the year, thereby favoring ...

Large flowers can be short‐lived: Insights from a high Andean cactus
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Long‐lived and large flowers signify high floral maintenance costs. Species of arid/semiarid climates with large flowers are expected to have short flower life spans and pollination‐induced flower longevity in order to curb high floral water and other ...

Occurrence and Prevention of Delayed Autonomous Selfing in Salvia umbratica (Lamiaceae)
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Delayed autonomous selfing (DAS) provides reproductive assurance under conditions of pollinator and/or pollen-limitation. Few plant species have been investigated to determine if DAS is terminated when a flower is sufficiently pollinated by a pollen ...
