Major flower pigments originate different colour signals to pollinators
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
Flower colour is mainly due to the presence and type of pigments. Pollinator preferences impose selection on flower colour that ultimately acts on flower pigments. Knowing how pollinators perceive flowers with different ...

Molecular approaches reveal speciation between red- and blue-flowered plants in the Mediterranean Lysimachia arvensis and L. monelli (Primulaceae)
(Linnean Society of London, 2022)
Flower colour has played a decisive role as an evolutionary force in many groups of plants by driving speciation. A well-known example of colour polymorphism is found across the Mediterranean populations of Lysimachia ...

Better soon than never: climate change induces strong phenological reassembly in the flowering of a Mediterranean shrub community
(Oxford University Press, 2023-12-14)
• Background and Aims Flowering is a key process in the life cycle of a plant. Climate change is shifting flowering phenologies in the Northern Hemisphere, but studies with long data series at the community level are scarce, ...

The role of lateral and vertical herkogamy in the divergence of the blue- And red-flowered lineages of Lysimachia arvensis
(Oxford University Press, 2020-06-01)
Background and Aims: Herkogamy, or anther-stigma separation, is known to reduce self-pollen deposition, but little is known about the relative efficacy of different modes or conformations of herkogamy. We assessed the ...

Flower color polymorphism and speciation: Lysimachia monelli and Lysimachia arvensis as study systems
(2023-09-15)
El color floral, junto a otros rasgos florales, un carácter ligado al éxito reproductivo, puesto que participa en la atracción de los polinizadores. Diferentes presiones selectivas actúan sobre este rasgo, ya sean de ...

Indirect Selection on Flower Color in Silene littorea
(Frontiers Media, 2020)
Flower color, as other floral traits, may suffer conflicting selective pressures mediated by both mutualists and antagonists. The maintenance of intraspecific flower color variability has been usually explained as a result ...

Biodiversity and ecosystem services in the Campo Rupestre: a road map for the sustainability of the hottest Brazilian biodiversity hotspot
(Associacao Brasileira de Ciencia Ecologica e Conservacao, 2020)
Global sustainability rests on a myriad of benefits provided by natural ecosystems that support human livelihoods and well-being, from biodiversity persistence to climate regulation. The undeniable importance of conserving ...

Flower colour segregation and flower discrimination under the bee vision model in the polymorphic Lysimachia arvensis
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-07-03)
Floral colour determines pollinator behaviour, strongly affecting plant-mating systems. Lysimachia arvensis has blue- and red-flowered plants and colour inheritance remains largely unknown. A control of floral colour based ...

Innovative In Situ and Ex Situ Conservation Strategies of the Madonie Fir Abies nebrodensis
(MDPI, 2022)
Abies nebrodensis (Lojac.) Mattei is an endemic species of the north-west of Sicily located in an 84 ha area in the Madonie Regional park. The current population is limited to 30 relic adult trees and a fluctuating number ...

Do visual traits honestly signal floral rewards at community level?
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2021-02)
The high variability observed in floral traits has been interpreted as resulting from the adaptation of plants to pollinators, as the latter present innate preferences for specific floral traits and impose selection over ...
