Variations of floral temperature in changing weather conditions

M. J. M. Harrap, N. de Vere, N. Hempel de Ibarra, H. M. Whitney, S. A. Rands

This study investigates how floral temperature and temperature patterns of four plant species change with weather conditions and finds that light conditions have the greatest influence on floral temperature.
