Floral colour versus phylogeny in structuring subalpine flowering communities.
The relative number of seeds produced by competing species can influence the community structure; yet, traits that influence seed production, such as pollinator attraction and floral colour, have received little attention in community ecology. Here, we analyse floral colour using reflectance spectra that include near-UV and examined the phylogenetic signal of floral colour. We found that coflow...
متن کاملShifts in flowering phenology reshape a subalpine plant community.
Phenology--the timing of biological events--is highly sensitive to climate change. However, our general understanding of how phenology responds to climate change is based almost solely on incomplete assessments of phenology (such as first date of flowering) rather than on entire phenological distributions. Using a uniquely comprehensive 39-y flowering phenology dataset from the Colorado Rocky M...
متن کاملFlowering phenology in subalpine meadows: does climate variation influence community co-flowering patterns?
Climate change is expected to alter patterns of species co-occurrence, in both space and time. Species-specific shifts in reproductive phenology may alter the assemblages of plant species in flower at any given time during the growing season. Temporal overlap in the flowering periods (co-flowering) of animal-pollinated species may influence reproductive success if competitive or facilitative in...
متن کاملFloral Morphology and Phylogeny in the Hydrocharitaceae
The vascular anatomy of 13 of the 15 genera of the Hydrocharitaceae has been studied, and certain aspects of floral morphology are considered. The flowers of the family show a broad range of specialized structures combined with primitive characteristics. The origin of paired and single stamens is interpreted as probable modifications of fascicled stamens. Extreme reduction in the androccium is ...
متن کاملStructuring Peer-2-Peer Communities
Locating suitable resources within a Peer-2-Peer (P2P) system is a computationally intensive process, with no guarantee of quality and suitability of the discovered resources. An alternative approach is to categorise peers based on the services they provide – leading to the interaction between peers with common goals to form societies/communities. Organization of peers in different communities ...
