An elevational gradient in floral traits and pollinator assemblages in the Neotropical species Costus guanaiensis var. tarmicus in Peru. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 We analyzed floral traits and pollinator assemblages in the Neotropical species Costus guanaiensis var. tarmicus along a steep elevational gradient in Peru. Results show floral traits and pollinator assemblage variation along the elevational gradient. We examined our results considering two hypotheses: (1) local adaptation to different bee assemblages ...

Evolutionary convergence on hummingbird pollination in Neotropical Costus provides insight into the causes of pollinator shifts. [PDF]
New Phytol, 2022 Summary The evolution of hummingbird pollination is common across angiosperms throughout the Americas, presenting an opportunity to examine convergence in both traits and environments to better understand how complex phenotypes arise. Here we examine independent shifts from bee to hummingbird pollination in the Neotropical spiral gingers (Costus) and ...

Mountain colonization precedes shifts away from bee pollination in Melastomataceae. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Shifts among different groups of pollinators are central in the evolution of flowering plants, yet mechanisms underlying pollinator shifts remain unclear. Environment‐induced reduction in pollinator availability and hence efficiency may destabilize ancestral plant–pollinator interactions and trigger shifts to new, more efficient pollinators ...

The evolution of floral sonication, a pollen foraging behavior used by bees (Anthophila). [PDF]
Evolution, 2018 Abstract Over 22,000 species of biotically pollinated flowering plants, including some major agricultural crops, depend primarily on bees capable of floral sonication for pollination services. The ability to sonicate (“buzz”) flowers is widespread in bees but not ubiquitous.

Movement of nest‐searching bumblebee queens reflects nesting habitat quality
Ecological Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 5, Page 719-727, October 2022., 2022 We found that nest‐searching Bombus impatiens queens search more thoroughly in land cover types associated with high nest densities (forests and meadows) than low‐quality habitat (hay fields). Our results support the theoretical prediction that animals move in a way that increases time spent in higher‐quality habitat.
