Flower size and longevity influence florivory in the large-flowered shrub Cistus ladanifer

open access: yesActa Oecologica, 2011
Plants with larger and longer-lived flowers receive more pollinator visits and increase reproductive success, though may also suffer more from antagonistic interactions with animals. Florivores can reduce fruit and seed production, so selection on flower size, floral longevity and/or number of flowers may thus be determined by the relative effects of ...

The evolution of flower longevity in unpredictable pollination environments

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2021
Abstract Pollination requires a flower to remain open for long enough to allow for the arrival of pollinators. However, maintaining flowers costs energy and resources. Therefore, flower longevity, the length of time a flower remains viable, is critical for the outcome of plant reproduction.
