Deep roots delay flowering and relax the impact of floral traits and associated pollinators in steppe plants.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Strong seasonality in abiotic harshness and pollinator availability shape the reproductive success of plants. Plant species can avoid or can tolerate harsh abiotic conditions and can attract different pollinators, but it remains unknown (i) which of ...

Nonnative old‐field species inhabit early season phenological niches and exhibit unique sensitivity to climate

open access: yesEcosphere, 2020
Native and nonnative plant species can exhibit differences in the timing of their reproductive phenology and their phenological sensitivity to climate.

Advancing understanding of oat phenology for crop adaptation

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Oat (Avena sativa) is an annual cereal grown for forage, fodder and grain. Seasonal flowering behaviour, or phenology, is a key contributor to the success of oat as a crop. As a species, oat is a vernalization-responsive long-day plant that flowers after

Simultaneous selection on vegetative and reproductive phenology in a perennial herb

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
The timing of different life‐history events is often correlated, and selection might only rarely be exerted independently on the timing of a single event. In plants, phenotypic selection has often been shown to favor earlier flowering. However, little is

The timing of leaf senescence relates to flowering phenology and functional traits in 17 herbaceous species along elevational gradients

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, 2020
Leaf senescence is a major event in a plant's life history as autumn marks the end of the growing season. The optimal timing of leaf senescence is crucial to both minimise risks of low temperature events and to maximise carbon gain during the growing ...

Development, Survival and Phenology of the Sweetclover Weevil Parasitoid, \u3ci\u3ePygostolus Falcatus\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Biennial sweetclovers were widely used for soil improvement and as for- ages in the first half of the 1900s. The introduction of the sweetclover weevil, Sitona cylindricollis, caused a drastic decline in sweetclover acreage.

Impacts of climate change on rice production in Africa and causes of simulated yield changes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This study is the first of its kind to quantify possible effects of climate change on rice production in Africa. We simulated impacts on rice in irrigated systems (dry season and wet season) and rainfed systems (upland and lowland).

Pollinator visitation rate and effectiveness vary with flowering phenology.

open access: yesAmerican-Eurasian journal of botany, 2020
PREMISE Flowering time may influence pollination success and seed set through a variety of mechanisms, including seasonal changes in total pollinator visitation or the composition and effectiveness of pollinator visitors.

Detecting Montane Flowering Phenology with CubeSat Imagery [PDF]

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
Shifts in wildflower phenology in response to climate change are well documented in the scientific literature. The majority of studies have revealed phenological shifts using in-situ observations, some aided by citizen science efforts (e.g., National Phenology Network).
