A massive community-science dataset reveals convergent evolution of delayed flowering phenology in North American red-flowering plants

Patrick McKenzie, Andrea E. Berardi, Robin Hopkins

The paper uses AI to analyze community science data and shows red/orange flowers in North America flower later, aligning with hummingbird migration patterns, suggesting flowering time is part of a pollination syndrome.
