Flower color is one of the most striking traits to attract pollinators and it varies between species and populations.
Pollinators may have preferences for certain flower colors (but antagonists like florivores as well).
At the same time, environmental factors like soil nutrients, pH, water availability, and tissue structure can influence color.
Aim: Disentangle the biotic and abiotic agents affecting color in native populations of D. purpurea
We look for a highly motivated student interested in plant-pollinator interactions and/or flower evolution.
Join our international research group passionate about flowers!
