Floral adaptation and modular trait evolution associated with a shift from bee to hummingbird pollination

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
By comparing floral trait variation, integration and modularity in two sister species of Neotropical Costus with a pollination shift, we show that, despite pollination syndrome divergence, both species exhibit low floral variation and functional modularity, consistent with pollinator‐driven selection on traits mediating pollen transfer efficiency and ...

Mixed‐vertebrate pollination traits and pollinators of Haageocereus acranthus (Cactaceae) in a lomas desert ecosystem of coastal Peru

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In a lomas desert ecosystem of coastal Peru, the columnar cactus Haageocereus acranthus shows traits and interactions consistent with a mixed‐vertebrate pollination system (hummingbirds and bats), with no detectable differences between flower colour morphotypes in either traits or interactions.

A dual pollination strategy combining perfume attraction and food deception in Galeandra blanchetii E.S. Rand (Orchidaceae)

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Galeandra blanchetii exhibits a dual‐attraction strategy: male euglossine bees are lured by floral scents as a resource, while both sexes are deceived by non‐existent nectar. Pollination only occurs when bees enter the spur to search for nectar, highlighting an evolutionary transition towards the perfume flower syndrome in Catasetinae.

Effects of crossing distance on components of fitness in two rare rock plants

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Crossing experiments between populations of the rare rock species Saxifraga rosacea ssp. rosacea (8×) and S. rosacea ssp. sponhemica (6×) resulted in heterosis for some traits and outbreeding depression for others. Crossing the two subspecies resulted in sterile hybrids indicating that mixing populations of rare species is not always beneficial ...

Floral intra‐individual variation differs between morphs and is linked to pollen deposition in self‐incompatible distylous plants

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
For most traits, floral intra‐individual variation was similar between morphs and populations with different pollinator guilds (bees and hummingbirds), potentially facilitating effective pollen transfer in distylous systems. Still, greater variation in corolla length increased pollen deposition in L‐morph flowers in the bee‐pollinated population ...

Research Progress of ROS Homeostasis Regulation Genes Involved in Rice Anther Development

Guangdong nongye kexue
The discovery of male sterile lines in rice laid a foundation for the successful use of heterosis in rice, greatly improved the yield per unit area of rice, and provided a strong guarantee for solving the problems of food security. As a male reproductive

Locked Pollen, Unchanged Buzzes: Bumblebee Foraging Behavior Persists Despite Pollen Restriction in a Poricidal Legume

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 4, December 2026.
In plants that offer pollen as their sole floral reward, this resource is finite and nonreplenishable, making such plants useful systems for studying how resource availability across flowers shapes pollinator behavior. Because tropical ecosystems of the Global South harbor exceptionally diverse plant–pollinator interactions, understanding pollinator ...
