Sex‐specific floral attraction traits in a sequentially hermaphroditic species
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 ●Many angiosperms are hermaphroditic and produce bisexual flowers in which male (pollen export) and female (stigma receptivity) functions are separated temporally. This sequential hermaphroditism may be associated with variation in flower size, color, or

Different Flowering Strategies Ensure Reproductive Success in Two Coexisting Self-Incompatible Orchids. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study compares the reproductive strategies of two self‐incompatible orchids, Pholidota articulata (mass‐flowering) and Coelogyne prolifera (steady‐state flowering). Despite differences in pollinator visitation and pollinia transfer efficiency—higher in P. articulata—both species achieved similar natural fruit set rates over 3 years.

Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2017 Neotropical Piper species have bisexual flowers. Such reproductive trait is considered basal in this pantropical genus. However, neotropical species having unisexual (staminate) flowers along with bisexual ones have also been reported.

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.Penstemon digitalis is an early spring‐flowering species of the northwest Missouri prairie community, a period often characterized by low and unpredictable bee visitation. We conducted an experimental field study to evaluate how pollinator‐mediated pollen transfer and floral longevity interact to influence pollen acquisition and seed production.

Is Self‐Pollination Sufficient to Maximise Seed Set and Fruit Quality in Kiwifruit Hermaphrodites?
New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 2, June 2026.The purpose of this study was to determine whether supplementary pollination of each of two hermaphrodite kiwifruit selections was likely to produce any significant improvement in seed set or fruit quality, compared with self‐pollination alone. Three main pollination treatments were applied to floral shoots: self‐pollination alone and self‐pollination ...

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.
