Facilitated autogamy and costs of selfing in the perennial herb 'Bulbine bulbosa' (Asphodelaceae)
, 2009 An understanding of how selfing occurs and whether selfing incurs costs relative to outcrossing is necessary for an evolutionary analysis of self‐fertilization.

Floral synorganization and its influence on mechanical isolation and autogamy in Marantaceae
, 2012 The flowers of Marantaceae (∼550 species) exhibit a highly derived pollination mechanism within Zingiberales, with a rapid and irreversible style movement based on a close synorganization of different floral parts.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.This study evaluates the factors influencing intrapopulation genetic diversity in dioecious flowering plants by integrating genetic and ecological data from studies published up to 2025. We show that pollination mode, endemism, and conservation status significantly shape genetic diversity patterns, with endemic and threatened species exhibiting the ...

Bees may drive the reproduction of four sympatric cacti in a vanishing coastal mediterranean-type ecosystem [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Background Sympatric congeneric plants might share pollinators, or each species might avoid competition by evolving specialized traits that generate partitions in pollinator assemblages.

The Red Queen unveils the sexual and mating strategies of flowers
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.Although the conventional wisdom is that floral traits of plants evolved in concert with their mutualistic pollinators, here we showed that several key sexual and mating traits of plants, which modulate their outcrossing strategy, evolved in response to the pressure exerted by their antagonistic insect herbivores.

Plant-pollinator interactions of the ground flora of a deciduous woodland [PDF]
, 1994 The relationship between plants and pollinators were investigated in Shincliffe Woods, Durham, using 35 fixed quadrats. For three months, May, June and July, flowering phenology of the ground flora, general insect abundance and pollinator abundance were ...

, 2015 Studies of plant breeding systems are particularly important when they involve facultative processes, which can be overlooked in natural conditions. This especially applies to species that are considered allogamous, due to their pollination syndrome and ...

Bud-autogamy in the velvet-leaf blueberry, Vaccinium myrtilloides Michx.
, 2006 In velvet-leaf blueberry, Vaccinium myrtilloides Michx., flower buds at different stages of development were collected from managed, lowbush blueberry populations and examined microscopically for evidence of autodeposition of selfpollen. During late bud
