Crab spiders (Araneae: Thomisidae) in flowering plants in a Brazilian "Cerrado" ecosystem [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2011 Although crab spiders are common in flowering plants, their relations with plant species and its floral traits have been poorly known in the Neotropics. Observations regarding plant habits, floral visitors and also floral characteristics such as anthesis,

The associations between floral traits and pollinator groups in two Mediterranean mountainous plant communities in the Middle Atlas of Morocco [PDF]
BMC Ecology and EvolutionBackground The relationships between floral traits and pollinators have been extensively studied over the last few decades. The concept of pollination syndrome suggests that plants pollinated by the same group of pollinators tend to develop similar ...

Testing Pollination Syndromes in Oenothera (Onagraceae)
Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2021 Pollinators are considered a major selective force in shaping the diversification of angiosperms. It has been hypothesized that convergent evolution of floral form has resulted in “pollination syndromes” - i.e.

Dissection of Floral Pollination Syndromes in Petunia [PDF]
Genetics, 2004 Abstract Animal-mediated pollination is essential in the reproductive biology of many flowering plants and tends to be associated with pollination syndromes, sets of floral traits that are adapted to particular groups of pollinators.
