Overview

Experimental manipulation of pollination rates reveals how floral longevity adapts under abiotic stress conditions.

Key Points

  • Higher floral longevity and variation emerged with decreased pollination, indicating adaptive responses.
  • Among treatments, pollination impacts pollen gain curves and longevity, restricting growth due to resource constraints.
  • Examination of abiotic factors showed vapor pressure deficit notably affected longevity under poor pollination.
  • These findings stress the significance of ecological conditions in the evolution of floral traits.
