✅This study challenges long-standing assumptions about the identity of bracts and spikelets, uncovers a previously unknown seed dispersal strategy, and highlights the remarkable evolutionary flexibility within monocots. (8/8)

🌺🦋🐝Flowers aren’t just pretty, they’re shaped by the ecological dance between plant and pollinator. And sometimes, that dance leads to spectacular diversity. (8/8)

The effect of global change on the expression and evolution of floral traits

AbstractBackground. Pollinators impose strong selection on floral traits. Indeed, pollinator syndromes are the result of these strong selective forces, but

OUP Academic

In the stable #Ulex parviflorus & #Apis melifera #pollination system, stabilizing #selection & low #heritability in #flower #traits are current limiting #floral #evolution, yet maintain enough heritable variation for responding to possible novel selection pressures

Quantitative genetic analysis of floral traits shows current limits but potential evolution in the wild By @cala_castellanos et al. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2023.0141

I've decided to publicize my talk🎙️ at 4th International Symposium in memory of Stefan #Vogel, Darmstadt, Germany on 19th Nov. 2022 (26 min of pre-recorded movie)!
https://youtu.be/7tN3MZto-S8

The talk is all about how we can reframe #FloralPhenotypes 🌸 🌼 or #PollinationSyndromes in the context of #TradeoffMitigation under multispecies interactions.🐝 🦋 Watch the movie to grasp the key points of our long paper, Ohashi et al. (2021): https://bit.ly/TradeoffMitigation
