Cordia subcordata (Boraginaceae), a distylous species on oceanic coral islands, is self-compatible and pollinated by a passerine bird [PDF]
Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Background and aims – Distyly is usually rare on oceanic islands, which is probably due to the difficulty for distylous plants to colonize those islands.

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, 2022 Reproductive traits that function in pollinator attraction may be reduced or lost during evolutionary transitions from outcrossing to selfing. Although floral scent plays an important role in attracting pollinators in outcrossing species, few studies ...

A loss-of-alleles model for the evolution of distyly [PDF]
Heredity, 1982 Distyly is characterized by a diallelic incompatibility system. Crowe (1964) hypothesized that this has arisen by a loss of alleles from multiallelic systems. I have examined a mechanism for such a loss in a simulated population with sporophytic incompatibility and four alleles at the incompatibility locus.

The genetics of distyly and homostyly in Turners ulmifolia L. (Turneraceae) [PDF]
Heredity, 1985 Turnera ulmifolia L. is a polymorphic complex of diploid, tetraploid and hexaploid varieties. Diploids and tetraploids are distylous and hexaploids homostylous. A controlled crossing programme demonstrated that in diploids distyly is controlled by a single locus with two alleles. Long-styled plants are ss and short-styled plants can be either Ss or SS.

A general stochastic model for sporophytic self-incompatibility [PDF]
, 2011 Disentangling the processes leading populations to extinction is a major topic in ecology and conservation biology. The difficulty to find a mate in many species is one of these processes.

Reproductive Ecology of Distylous Shoreside Polygonum criopolitanum Hance
Diversity, 2022 In this study, distyly was clearly confirmed in Polygonum criopolitanum Hance, which exhibited strict self-incompatibility. Unlike other distylous species, style-morph ratios of P.

Heterostyly: speciation within a species [PDF]
, 2004 Almost all organisms in nature show nonrandom mating to different degrees. Two extreme results of nonrandom mating are speciation and sexual differentiation.

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 It is hypothesized that in heterostylous plant species, standardization of signals of floral attraction between different morphs is advantageous, encouraging flower visitors to switch between morphs.

FlowerMate: Multidimensional reciprocity and inaccuracy indices for style-polymorphic plant populations. [PDF]
Appl Plant SciAbstract Premise Heterostyly in plants promotes pollen transfer between floral morphs, because female and male sex organs are located at roughly reciprocal heights within the flowers of each morph. Reciprocity indices, which assess the one‐dimensional variation in the height of sex organs, are used to define the phenotypic structure of heterostyly in ...
