The pistil as a traffic light: Yellow‐to‐red color change likely influences pollinator visitation patterns in Saxifraga fortunei (Saxifragaceae)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Flowers can communicate reproductive status to pollinators through visual cues. In Saxifraga fortunei, pistils often changed from yellow to red after pollination, and hoverflies and honeybees preferentially visited flowers with yellow pistils. This pattern suggests that a post‐pollination color shift confined to the pistil can reduce revisits to ...

Floral visitors and reproductive success in two sequentially flowering Lindera shrubs (Lauraceae) of central Japan [PDF]

, 2019
Two Lindera species (Lindera praecox and Lindera triloba) are distributed sympatrically along the Pacific Ocean side of the main island of Japan. They are similar, but not identical, in habitat preference and flowering season. Slight differences in these

Capsicum chinense as an African traditional vegetable: Culture, resilience, and opportunity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Capsicum chinense is central to everyday diets, cultural identity, and smallholder livelihoods across Sub‐Saharan Africa, yet remains overlooked in agricultural research and policy. This paper reframes C. chinense as a traditional, climate‐resilient vegetable shaped by centuries of farmer stewardship and cultural selection.

Predicting reproductive phenology of wind-pollinated trees via PlanetScope time series

Science of Remote Sensing
Airborne pollen triggers allergic reactions, which can have public health consequences. Accurate airborne pollen concentration modeling and prediction rely on understanding plant reproductive phenology, particularly the timing of flowering and pollen ...

Glacial history affected phenotypic differentiation in the Alpine plant Campanula thyrsoides [PDF]

, 2013
Numerous widespread Alpine plant species show molecular differentiation among populations from distinct regions. This has been explained as the result of genetic drift during glacial survival in isolated refugia along the border of the European Alps ...

Climate‐driven intraspecific shifts in seed germination phenology: Consequences for native temperate woodland restoration and regeneration

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As climate change alters seasonal patterns, temperate tree populations face a growing risk of phenological mismatch, where seed dispersal and germination no longer align with favourable conditions for survival. This study predicted how warming by the end of the century will affect seed dormancy breaking and germination in populations of three UK tree ...

Rapid Surveys Reveal Temporal Variation in Flowering Community Phenology in a Great Basin Desert Ecosystem

Ecology and Evolution
Understanding temporal variation in flowering phenology is essential for predicting plant community responses to climatic change, especially in arid regions where moisture pulses drive productivity.

Time after time: flowering phenology and biotic interactions [PDF]

, 2007
The role of biotic interactions in shaping plant flowering phenology has long been controversial; plastic responses to the abiotic environment, limited precision of biological clocks and inconsistency of selection pressures have generally been emphasized

Studies on the pollination biology and breeding systems of some genera with sympatric species in the Brazilian cerrados [PDF]

, 2012
Flowering phenology, floral strategies pollinator activity and breeding system were investigated in 14 species of the cerrado vegetation in Braeflia (DF), from April 1985 to April 1986 in Tabebuia caraiba (Mart.) Bur., T.
