Color polymorphism in Anemone coronaria: Correlations with soil, climate, and flowering phenology

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Flower color polymorphism (FCP) is thought to be driven by multiple selection agents. Although widely associated with visual attraction of multiple pollinators, FCP is also often correlated with abiotic factors. We explored the links between abiotic conditions, flowering phenology, and FCP in the winter‐flowering geophyte Anemone ...
