Color is an excellent carrier of information between organisms. Photonic elastomers that
convert abstract mechanical information into intuitive color information have shown great …

Sensory drive theory posits that the evolution of communication signals is shaped by the
sensory systems of receivers and the habitat conditions under which signals are received. It …

Color research continuously demands better methods and larger sample sizes. Citizen
science (CS) projects are producing an ever‐growing geo‐and time‐referenced set of …

Background & Aim: Pollen grain is an important component for carrying and spreading plant
genetic information. It contains the key code of angiosperm biodiversity, which can provide a …

Visual signals attractive to friends may also attract enemies. The bright colors of anthers and
pollen have generally been thought to attract pollinators. We hypothesize that visual crypsis …

Balancing selection has been shown to be common in plants for several different types of
traits, such as self-incompatibility and heterostyly. Generally, for these traits balancing …

In the fiber industry, cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is an important crop. One of the most
important morphology traits of plants is the color of the anthers, is closely related to pollen …

Stigma color is an important morphological trait in many flowering plants. Visual
observations in different field experiments have shown that a green stigma in melons is …

Abstract Background and Aims Pollinators often drive the evolution of floral traits, but their
capacity to influence the evolution of pollen colour remains unclear. Pollen colour in …

Spring ephemeral plants that experience harsh environments have developed specific
reproductive characteristics. These characteristics are of great importance to the survival …
