Morning Glories May Be Losing the Race Against Climate Change
A study suggests that severe pollinator losses may have sharply slowed plant adaptation. A morning glory facing a warmer climate may benefit from blooming earlier. But if pollinators are becoming harder to attract, producing larger flowers may matter more. New research suggests that these competing pressures have become linked in a way that sharply limits [...]
A University of Michigan study suggests that the relationship between flower size and flowering time may be restricting the ability of morning glories to adapt to climate change. The research reveals that pollinator pressure and environmental changes have negatively impacted the evolution of these plants. The relationship between flower size and flowering time indicates that larger flowers are more attractive to pollinators, favoring natural sel…
