Dimorphic enantiostyly and its function for pollination by carpenter bees in a pollen‐rewarding Caribbean bloodwort

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Flowers that present their anthers and stigma in close proximity can achieve precise animal‐mediated pollen transfer, but risk self‐pollination. One evolutionary solution is reciprocal herkogamy. Reciprocity of anther and style positions among different plants (i.e., a genetic dimorphism) is common in distylous plants, but very rare in

Wind‐driven seed dispersal differentially promotes seed trapping and retention across alpine plants

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Seed dispersal can mediate species interactions between plants across life stages. Plants can physically stop seed movement (seed trapping) and prevent further dispersal following entrapment (seed retention). We therefore hypothesized seed trapping and retention rates depend on the physical attributes of interacting seeds and plants ...

Phylogenomics, ecomorphological evolution, and historical biogeography in Deuterocohnia (Bromeliaceae: Pitcairnioideae)

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Species of Deuterocohnia (17 spp.) show extraordinary variation in elevation (0–3900 m a.s.l.) and growth forms, and many have narrow geographic distributions in the west‐central Andes and the Peru‐Chile coast. Previous research using few plastid and nuclear loci failed to produce well‐resolved or supported phylogenies.

The effect of drought stress on the limits and costs of plasticity in floral longevity in response to pollinator decline

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Declines in pollinator populations can reduce pollination services to plants, resulting in lower seed production. In response to these reductions, plants could increase the probability of pollinator visitation by plastically extending floral longevity.

The sleeping giant needs coffee: Overlooked areas for integrating plant ecophysiology and evolutionary biology

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Interpretations of evolutionary outcomes are limited without incorporation of physiological ecology, and ecophysiological interpretations would benefit from incorporating evolutionary perspectives. Although there has been a rise of studies in the last 20 years between these fields, evolutionary studies that incorporate plant physiology have ...
