What maintains flower colour variation within populations?
Natural selection acts on phenotypic trait variation. Understanding the mechanisms that
create and maintain trait variation is fundamental to understanding the breadth of diversity …

Fragmentary blue: Resolving the rarity paradox in flower colors
Blue is a favored color of many humans. While blue skies and oceans are a common visual
experience, this color is less frequently observed in flowers. We first review how blue has …

Macroecological patterns in flower colour are shaped by both biotic and abiotic factors
There is a wealth of research on the way interactions with pollinators shape flower traits.
However, we have much more to learn about influences of the abiotic environment on flower …
