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 ...

Selection maintains floral color polymorphism in scarlet paintbrush, Castilleja coccinea, reflecting combined ecological factors

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Evolutionary theory predicts polymorphism should be rare; however, intraspecific variation in floral color is common and can be attributed to genetic drift, plasticity, or variable selection. Examining floral color polymorphism both within contact zones and across a species' range can reveal the mechanisms maintaining this variation ...

Heat drastically alters floral color and pigment composition without affecting flower conspicuousness

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Floral pigments primarily serve to attract pollinators through color display and also contribute to protection against environmental stress. Although pigment composition can be plastically altered under stress, its impact on pollinator color perception remains poorly understood.

Stacked scattering: The key to bright flowers lies in the mesophyll

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The coloration of flowers is caused by wavelength‐selective absorption by pigments and scattering of light by floral structures. Although the molecular, physiological, and chemical properties of floral pigments have been studied in considerable detail, how floral structures contribute to the visual signal remains largely unknown.

Pollinator, herbivore, and climatic selective pressures differ across a floral color transition zone

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Spatial and temporal variations in climate and ecological interactions may underlie the origin and maintenance of floral color polymorphisms across a species range. Betalains are nitrogen‐containing, phylogenetically restricted pigments that, like the widespread and well‐studied anthocyanins and carotenoids, may attract pollinators ...

Rüdin's Unpublished Family Study From the Early 1920s: “On the Inheritance of Manic‐Depressive Insanity”

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ernst Rüdin, an important and controversial figure in the history of psychiatric genetics, published only one major empirical study on siblings of dementia praecox (DP) probands in 1916. He conducted a parallel study of siblings of probands with manic‐depressive insanity (MDI), but the resulting monograph, written in the early 1920s, was left ...

The Insistence of Blackness and the Persistence of Antiblackness in Ireland

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper positions Ireland as a critical site for examining the insistence of blackness and an antiblackness created and sustained through Irish ethnonationalist imaginaries and exclusionary processes. Drawing on connected sociologies and Irish Black Studies, this enquiry argues that antiblackness in Ireland operates as a generational force,
