Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT The breeding systems of Lutruwita/Tasmania's threatened Epacris taxa are poorly known. Our main objective was to determine the pollinators of several endemic species and explore for relationships between pollinators, floral morphology, flowering time and habitat. The Epacris have limited variation in floral traits and exhibit generalist floral

Entomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 3, September 2026.Three sibling parasitoid wasps of the Cotesia inducta (Braconidae) complex attack ant‐associated lycaenid larvae in Japan. Species differ in host range, seasonal host use and feeding habitat. Differences in host‐feeding habitat may contribute to diversification within the Cotesia inducta complex. Abstract Approximately 75% of lycaenid butterfly species

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Premise The identity of sterile floral organs in second‐whorl, alternisepalous positions within Caryophyllaceae remains contentious, having been described as staminodes, “petaloids,” or petals homologous with those of other Pentapetalae. Limited ingroup and outgroup sampling and floral developmental data and inadequate phylogenetic comparative

Protoplasma, 2017 We investigated the morphology and structure of the floral nectary in 11 Neotropical genera belonging to the subfamilies Dodonaeoideae and Paullinioideae (Sapindaceae) from southern South America representing three tribes (Dodonaeaeae, Paullinieae, and Melicocceae), in relation to other floral traits in species with contrasting morphological flower ...

CRABS CLAW Acts as a Bifunctional Transcription Factor in Flower Development
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 One of the crucial steps in the life cycle of angiosperms is the development of carpels. They are the most complex plant organs, harbor the seeds, and, after fertilization, develop into fruits and are thus an important ecological and economic trait ...

The flower morphology in three Convallariaceae species with various attractive traits
Acta Agrobotanica, 2017 The general morphology and micromorphology of the flower in Polygonatum multiflorum, Maianthemum bifolium, and Convallaria majalis were studied using light microscopy methods. Among the studied species, P. multiflorum and C.

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2018 Nectar production has an important role in pollinator attraction and successful fruit production in many self-incompatible angiosperm groups. The reproductive biology of Passiflora actinia was studied here and related to nectar dynamics.

Ultrastructure and Function of Floral Nectaries ofChamelaucium uncinatum(Myrtaceae) [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 1996 Abstract Nectar is secreted for up to 11d after anthesis inChamelaucium uncinatum. The volume and sucrose concentration secreted varies between flowers, plants and days. The period of nectar secretion coincides with the period of pollen presentation and stigmatic receptivity suggesting nectar is part of an efficient reproductive strategy inC ...
