In-depth phenotyping reveals unexpected floral trait variation in Mimulus cardinalis across a range-wide latitudinal gradient

Mikhaela Neequaye, E. Kennedy, Hannah Gunn…·Kelsey J.R.P. Byers

This study identifies high phenotypic variation in floral traits across Mimulus cardinalis accessions and links these variations to genetic and environmental factors.

Pollinator-relevant floral traits impact bidirectional hybridisation in the orchid genus Gymnadenia

Mikhaela Neequaye, Roman T. Kellenberger, Rebecca Collier…·Kelsey J.R.P. Byers

The paper investigates hybridization between two orchid species, finding that floral traits and pollinator interactions influence hybrid formation and fitness.

Within-species floral evolution reveals convergence in adaptive walks during incipient pollinator shift

Katherine E. Wenzell, Mikhaela Neequaye, Pirita Paajanen…·Kelsey J.R.P. Byers

The paper compares floral traits, genomics, and pollinator interactions in two yellow-flowered monkeyflower species to show convergent adaptive walks during pollinator shifts.

Adaptive generalization in pollinators: hawkmoths increase fitness to long-tubed flowers, but secondary pollinators remain important

Katherine E. Wenzell, Johnathan Y. Zhang, Krissa A. Skogen, Jeremie Benjamin Fant

This study shows that long corollas in Castilleja sessiliflora are adapted to hawkmoth pollination, but secondary pollinators still contribute to reproductive success.
