Among-individual variation in flowering phenology affects flowering synchrony and mating opportunity.

American Journal of Botany, 2023
PREMISE OF THE STUDY The timing and pattern of a plant's flowering can have important consequences for reproductive success. Variation in flowering phenology may influence the number of prospective mates, the risk of mating with lower quality individuals,

Fire influences reproductive outcomes by modifying flowering phenology and mate-availability.

New Phytologist, 2021
A recent study posited that fire in grasslands promotes persistence of plant species by improving mating opportunities and reproductive outcomes. We devised an investigation to test these predicted mechanisms in two widespread, long-lived perennials.

Skewness in bee and flower phenological distributions

Ecology, 2022
Abstract Phenological distributions are characterized by their central tendency, breadth, and shape, and all three determine the extent to which interacting species overlap in time. Pollination mutualisms rely on temporal co‐occurrence of pollinators and their floral resources, and although much work has been done to characterize the ...

Plasticity and selection drive hump-shaped latitudinal patterns of flowering phenology in an invasive intertidal plant.

Ecology, 2021
Patterns of flowering phenology can affect the success of plant invasions, especially when introduced species spread across a wide range of latitude into different climatic conditions.

Phenology of Sorghum Flowering

Crop Science, 1994
Understanding the phenology of flowering, the time when sorghum, Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench, is vulnerable to oviposition by the sorghum midge, Contarinia sorghicola (Coquillett), would improve the capability of managing this key sorghum insect pest and aid in developing control recommendations.

Flowering phenology, flower sterility and pollen germination in olive cultivars

Acta Horticulturae, 2019
Olive (Olea europaea L.) orchard productivity largely depends on the choice of planted cultivars and their reproductive traits. Simultaneous flowering periods enable cross-pollination and high fruit set in different cultivars. Olive tree is producing both perfect (hermaphrodite) and staminate (male) flowers.
