Four plant species that show floral color variation, (A) in degree of response to changing temperature, (B) associated with development stage during reproduction, (C) associated with altitude, (D) in pollen associated with latitude.

Can you guess which group this fascinating plant belongs to? Its species name is ‘medusa,’ which I think is quite fitting.

Evolution is expected to involve mutations that are small and modular in effect, but recent findings suggest that mutations early in an adaptive process can have strong and pleiotropic effects. This s...

Genome doubling reshapes where plants thrive—but not in predictable ways. A new study led by Filip Kolář shows #polyploidy often shifts ecological niches, yet with no consistent pattern. Fascinating insight into #plant #evolution. 🌿

I love this approach and I love the result 🧡 ♥️
Hope we can use it in the future to understand the flower color composition of alpine vegetation.

Hot off the presses and so so thrilled. Thanks to @inaturalist.bsky.social + computer vision we found something beautifully simple: Red and orange flowers bloom later than all the other colors in the eastern United States. Paper here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kwzh3QW8S...

Visual abstract: “we test hypotheses about floral diversity with community science data and an advanced computer vision model. Red/orange flowers have delayed flowering that matches hummingbird migratory patterns”
