Stability Analysis and Multi-Trait Selection of Flowering Phenology Parameters in Olive Cultivars Under Multi-Environment Trials [PDF]
PlantsFlowering represents the most important process in the reproductive stage of fruit trees, including olive trees. Previous studies have demonstrated that the genotype–environment interaction (GEI) has a considerable influence on olive flowering time. This

Context-dependent conflicting selection on flowering phenology. [PDF]
Proc Biol SciClimate change will affect precipitation and water availability in natural plant populations, potentially influencing phenology, fitness and natural selection. To examine how water availability affects non-pollinator- and pollinator-mediated selection on flowering phenology in Primula tibetica

Phylogenetic signal in flowering phenology weakens over elevation in the high Andes of Chile: evidence for evolutionary convergence in a harsh habitat [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionHigh elevation plants experience cold temperatures and short growing seasons that constrain their flowering window. These environmental limitations are expected to promote strong overlap in flowering phenology among co-occurring species ...

Divergent selection on flowering phenology but not on floral morphology between two closely related orchids [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Closely related species often differ in traits that influence reproductive success, suggesting that divergent selection on such traits contribute to the maintenance of species boundaries. Gymnadenia conopsea ss.

Delayed flowering phenology of red-flowering plants in response to hummingbird migration. [PDF]
Curr BiolThe radiation of angiosperms is marked by a phenomenal diversity of floral size, shape, color, scent, and reward.1,2,3,4 The multi-dimensional response to selection to optimize pollination has generated correlated suites of these floral traits across distantly related species, known as "pollination syndromes."5,6,7,8,9 The ability to test the broad ...

Flowering phenology shifts in response to biodiversity loss. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2017 Significance Advanced spring flowering has been described as a fingerprint of climate change—a public, visible display of the detrimental effects of global warming. However, warming experiments fail to account for the full magnitude of observed changes in phenology, suggesting that other factors may play important roles.
