Pollination activity affects selection on floral longevity in the autumnal-flowering plant, Narcissus serotinus L.

Flower longevity, the period of time that a flower remains open, is a crucial factor in plant reproductive fitness. Though longevity varies substantially among angiosperm species, longer flower longevities may be a selective advantage under unpredictable or scarce pollination activity. This study ex...
