Impact of Domestication on Floral Traits and Rewards: A Comparison Between Wild and Domesticated Squash (Cucurbita)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
Plant domestication primarily targets traits of direct human interest, but also indirectly affects other traits. We investigated the effect of domestication on floral traits and floral rewards of species of the genus Cucurbita.

Seed Production and Pollinator Dependence in Native Wildflowers: Guiding Species Selection for Conservation Plantings

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
We investigated the pollination biology of eight native wildflower species in the southeastern U.S. to assess their dependence on insect pollinators and potential for self‐pollination. Most species showed significantly higher seed production and weight when open‐pollinated, indicating strong pollinator dependence, though some could reproduce without ...
