We all know that many plants need pollinators to propagate, but what happens when plants and their pollinators are out-of-sync? For example, it’s important that the beginning of flowering matches insect emergence for appropriate pollinators. However, there are other key ecological factors that relate to the success of pollination, ​such as the distance that pollen travels which influences genetic variation in populations.  One of these factors is the synchrony of flowering within a species.  For example, do all the individuals flower at the same time in a massive display? Or do different individuals flower at different times throughout a longer season? Flowering times can be triggered by day length, making them very predictable, or more commonly by local water availability – making them much more erratic and subject to climate change.  This talk will look at the impact of fog on flowering times and how that relates to pollinator behavior in ​the coastal maritime succulent scrub habitats of ​Southern and Baja California.
