Sentence examples for flowering schedule from inspiring English sources

Like the earlier papers, Primack and Miller-Rushing discovered that native plants that have maintained their historic flowering schedule are not doing well.

We used the method of Elzinga and Bernasconi in Elzinga et al. (2007), which takes advantage of the full flowering schedule information and is appropriate for population comparisons (Elzinga et al. 2007).

Additional changes in the duration of flowering and the shapes of the flowering schedule curves (Franks and Weis 2008) also contributed to reducing the phenological separation between the populations.

Despite the importance of assortative mating for evolution, the likelihood of assortative mating by flowering time, and the theoretical work on this topic (Fisher 1958; Felsenstein 1981; Fox 2003; Weis 2005), only one previous study (Weis and Kossler 2004) estimated assortative mating using full flowering schedule information.

Flowering schedules were constructed for each individual plant by recording the time to first flower (i.e., the number of days between sowing and the first observed flower) and the number of opened flowers on every fourth day until the end of the flowering period.

We did not keep track of the random sequences of plants generated for each experimental population on each pollination day so we used observed flowering schedules to calculate the expected proportion of pollen received from transgenic plants (PPR) for each weedy plant.

This makes sense since a compression of flowering schedules should lower assortative mating because of a reduction in variation in flowering time.

We further show that climatically driven changes in phenology can potentially influence gene flow among populations due to changes in overlap in flowering schedules.

In this case, levels of assortative mating can be estimated indirectly by regressing the flowering time of mothers against the flowering time of potential fathers, as determined by flowering schedules (Weis and Kossler 2004).

Hybridization opportunities for each weedy individual was calculated as the expected proportion of pollen received from transgenic plants (PPR) based on the observed flowering schedules.

The index is zero for complete overlap in population flowering schedules and one for complete isolation.
