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.

Floral Diversity and Pollination Syndromes in Agave subgenus Manfreda
Integrative And Comparative Biology, 2023 Synopsis The genus Agave is an ecological keystone of American deserts and both culturally and economically important in Mexico. Agave is a large genus of about 250 species. The radiation of Agave is marked by an initial adaptation to desert environments and then a secondary diversification of species associated with pollinator groups ...

Canadian Journal of Botany, 1997 The clonal shrub Amelanchier nantucketensis is andropetalous; a variable number of petals as well as normal anthers both bear germinable pollen. To determine whether floral density associated with andropetaly is related to activity of native bees on flowers, we compared Amelanchier nantucketensis to Amelanchier humilis and Amelanchier stolonifera ...

Nectar, Floral Morphology and Pollination Syndrome in Loasaceae subfam. Loasoideae (Cornales) [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2006 Loasaceae subfam. Loasoideae are mostly distributed in South America (sea level to over 4500 m) with a wide range of animals documented as pollinators. The aim was to investigate correlations between nectar parameters, flower morphology, pollination syndrome and phylogeny.Nectar was collected from 29 species from seven genera in the subfamily ...

Convergence without divergence in North American red-flowering Silene
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Combinations of correlated floral traits have arisen repeatedly across angiosperms through convergent evolution in response to pollinator selection to optimize reproduction.

Reproductive biology and nectar secretion dynamics of Penstemon gentianoides (Plantaginaceae): a perennial herb with a mixed pollination system? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Background In many plant species, pollination syndromes predict the most effective pollinator. However, other floral visitors may also offer effective pollination services and promote mixed pollination systems.

Pollination by hummingbirds of Vriesea gigantea (Bromeliaceae) populations in Southern Brazil
Rodriguésia, 2020 The pollination syndrome hypothesis usually does not successfully apply to the diversity of floral phenotypes or help predict the pollinators of most plant species.
