Does the abiotic environment influence the distribution of flower and fruit colors?

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
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 ...

Floral shape and color impact heat accumulation and thermal stability of the floral microenvironment in a subalpine meadow

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The floral thermal microenvironment impacts plant reproduction through its effects on gametophyte performance and plant–pollinator interactions. Color and shape are axes of floral variation that may mediate floral temperature because they affect the absorption and reflection of solar radiation, but their interactive effects are unclear.

The unique morphological basis and repeated evolutionary origins of personate flowers in Penstemon

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Adaptive radiation in ecologically and morphologically diverse plant lineages presents an opportunity to investigate the rapid evolution of novel floral traits. While some types of floral traits, such as flower color, are well characterized, other types of complex morphologies remain understudied.

Evaluating Self-Pollination Methods: Their Impact on Nut Set and Nutlet Abscission in Macadamia

open access: yesPlants
Nut set is an important determinant of yield and plays a pivotal role in orchard profitability. The complex process of nut setting is governed by numerous factors, with pollination being a critical mechanism.

THE ECOLOGY OF MUTUALISM [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
Elementary ecology texts tell us that organisms interact in three fundamen­ tal ways, generally given the names competition, predation, and mutualism. The third member has gotten short shrift (264), and even its name is not generally agreed on.

Do Skin Prick Tests Predict Nasal Provocation Test Outcomes in Allergic Rhinitis Patients?

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In diagnosing allergic rhinitis (AR), conventional skin prick tests (SPTs) often fail to reflect allergen‐induced nasal symptoms. Conversely, nasal provocation tests (NPTs) provide more definitive assessments but are less accessible.
