Does the abiotic environment influence the distribution of flower and fruit colors?
Abstract Premise Color in flowers and fruits carries multiple functions, from attracting animal partners (pollinators, dispersers) to mitigating environmental stress (cold, drought, UV‐B). With research historically focusing on biotic interactions as selective agents, however, it remains unclear whether abiotic stressors impact flower and fruit colors ...

Climatic determinants of plant phenology in vernal pool habitats
Abstract Premise The floral phenology of vernal pool plants is little understood despite being a crucial developmental stage for producing seeds and determining population growth rates. Vernal pools are ephemerally aquatic habitats harboring species adapted to predictable seasonal fluctuations between desiccated and inundated conditions; thus, vernal ...
