The paper analyzes global flower color diversity using community science data, finding a latitudinal gradient in color diversity and associations with climate and pollination strategies.

The paper introduces a method for stochastic character mapping of continuous traits on phylogenies, showing higher trait evolution rates in smaller eucalypt trees.

The paper investigates red pigmentation in extrafloral nectaries across 625 species, finding cold wet regions and deserts as hotspots and suggesting a fungal defense role for red pigments.

The paper examines seasonal changes in flower color and phylogenetic diversity of co-flowering wildflowers, finding non-random structure and shifts in dispersion patterns over time.

This study shows that including humanizing descriptions of counter-stereotypical scientists in educational materials increases student engagement, particularly among students who share identities with the scientists.

The paper assesses plant-mite mutualism globally, showing mite domatia evolved in temperate regions and dry habitats, with climate-driven patterns of morphological convergence.

The paper investigates the molecular genetic basis of mite domatia development and intraspecific variation in Vitis riparia using transcriptomics, identifying key pathways and gene expression patterns.
