Floral morphology is associated with pollen deposition patterns on moth bodies

open access: yesAustral Ecology
Floral syndromes can be a useful tool for predicting the identity of pollinators from floral morphology. However, the reliability of floral syndromes are still debated in the literature, and can often result in effective pollinators being overlooked ...

Floral Polymorphisms and Their Functional Significance in the Heterostylous Syndrome

1992
The emblem of the heterostylous syndrome is the positioning at equivalent levels of the stigmas of one floral morph and the anthers of one or two alternate morphs. Of less prominence in the syndrome are distinguishing characters of the pistils and stamens of the morphs, particularly of the stigmas and pollen grains.

Pollen morphology in relation to floral types and pollination syndromes in Pedicularis (Orobanchaceae)

Plant Systematics and Evolution, 2008
Floral diversification in the genus Pedicularis (Orobanchaceae) is remarkable among flowering plants. In this genus, floral morphology and pollinator behavior are closely co-adaptive. In the current paper, pollen grains of 23 representative species of Pedicularis mainly from North America, with two species from Japan and two species from China, whose ...

An exception to Darwin's syndrome: floral position, protogyny, and insect visitation in Besseya bullii (Scrophulariaceae)

Oecologia, 1995
Darwin pointed out that plants with vertical inflorescences are likely to be outcrossed if the inflorescence is acropetalous (flowers from the bottom up), the flowers are protandrous (pollen is dispersed before stigmas are receptive), and pollinators move upward on the inflorescence.

Floral syndromes predict the most effective pollinators in five species of Salvia

American Journal of Botany
Abstract Premise Pollination syndromes are suites of floral traits associated with the most effective functional group of pollinators. Particular floral traits may not necessarily preclude visitation by different visitor guilds that could also contribute to plant ...

Floral Scent Emission and Pollination Syndromes: Evolutionary Changes from Food to Sexual Deception

International Journal of Plant Sciences, 2006
The Australian orchid genus Caladenia is unusual in comprising species that have evolved different pollination syndromes, including food deception and sexual deception. In this study, we compare the scent emission of Caladenia longicauda Lindl. (food deceptive), Caladenia arenicola Hopper & A. P. Br.

A statistical Test for Floral Syndromes in Aquilegia (Ranunculacae)

Aquilegia flowers provide nectar to their pollinators via spurs that differ in length among species. In addition, flowers vary in colour, orientation, and to some extent also in shape. Traditionally, Aquilegia flowers have been classified into three floral syndromes associated to bee, hummingbird, or hawkmoth pollination.
