Did you know that petals have 'windows' that affect the abundance of microbes within flowers?
Research published in New Phytologist reveals that they alter the amount of light and heat entering the flower, changing conditions that influence microbial abundance.

Thrilled to have @anahvsb.bsky.social's thesis out in New Phytologist! This one was really fun! Anah kept finding in prelim data that Oxalis stricta plants exposed to low doses of the herbicide dicamba would produce MOAR flowers than control plants! So she studied this over two field exps
