DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16067
Abstract: Abstract Premise Genetic variation influences the potential for evolution to rescue populations from impacts of environmental change. Most studies of genetic variation in fitness‐related traits focus on either vegetative or floral traits, with few on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16099
Abstract: PREMISE Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can strongly influence host plant vegetative growth, but less is known about AMF effects on other plant traits, the relative impacts of AMF on vegetative growth versus floral traits, or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16106
Abstract: PREMISE Pollinator decline, by reducing seed production, is predicted to strengthen natural selection on floral traits. However, the effect of pollinator decline on gender dimorphic species (such as gynodioecious species, where plants produce female or… read more here.

Pollinator parasites and the evolution of floral traits

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4989
Abstract: Abstract The main selective force driving floral evolution and diversity is plant–pollinator interactions. Pollinators use floral signals and indirect cues to assess flower reward, and the ensuing flower choice has major implications for plant fitness.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8624
Abstract: Abstract The evolution of floral traits is often attributed to pollinator‐mediated selection; however, the importance of pollinators as selective agents in arctic environments is poorly resolved. In arctic and subarctic regions that are thought to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2503
Abstract: Hotspots of disease transmission can strongly influence pathogen spread. Bee pathogens may be transmitted via shared floral use, but the role of plant species and floral trait variation in shaping transmission dynamics is almost entirely… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3866
Abstract: Plants modulate multitrophic ecological interactions, and variation in plant traits can affect these interactions. Pollinators are exposed to pathogens at flowers and acquire or transmit pathogens at different rates on different plant species, but the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10722-017-0600-7
Abstract: Floral traits play an important role in mating systems in flowering plant species. In rice, variation in floral traits has been established in a wide range of germplasm, but the variability of floral traits in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pld.2017.03.001
Abstract: Floral traits, including those invisible to humans but visible to pollinators, that increase pollination efficiency may be selected by pollinators in plant species with pollen limitation of seed production, but the importance of pollinators as… read more here.

Geographic variation in floral traits and the capacity of autonomous selfing across allopatric and sympatric populations of two closely related Centaurium species

DOI: 10.1038/srep46410
Abstract: Floral traits and the relative contribution of autonomous selfing to total seed set varies geographically and is often driven by the availability and abundance of suitable pollinators and/or the presence of co-flowering relatives. In the… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS Angiosperms vary remarkably in traits such as colour, size and shape of flowers, yet such variation generally tends to be low within species. In deceptive orchids, however, large variation in floral traits… read more here.
