Recurrent Visitation by Lycaenid Butterflies and Honeybees to the Same Individuals of Achyranthes bidentata (Amaranthaceae)

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.
The common perennial weed Achyranthes bidentata (Amaranthaceae) produces many flowers to attract diverse insect pollinators. The authors here found that lycaenid butterflies made long‐distance visits between individual plants, whereas honeybees were inclined to visit multiple flowers within an individual plant. These findings highlight potential agents

Effect of different pollination schemes on the fruit morphometric characteristic of Vanilla planifolia Jacks.

Ornamental Horticulture
Vanilla planifolia Jacks. is an orchid of great economic interest, classified as endangered. The limited genetic variation of this species has been primarily attributed to its clonal propagation.

Adaptive floral traits that impact stigma pollen load and seed production in Penstemon digitalis (Plantaginaceae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Penstemon digitalis is an early spring‐flowering species of the northwest Missouri prairie community, a period often characterized by low and unpredictable bee visitation. We conducted an experimental field study to evaluate how pollinator‐mediated pollen transfer and floral longevity interact to influence pollen acquisition and seed production.

Separated Sexes, Shared Consequences: Disentangling Predictors of Genetic Diversity in Dioecious Angiosperms

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study evaluates the factors influencing intrapopulation genetic diversity in dioecious flowering plants by integrating genetic and ecological data from studies published up to 2025. We show that pollination mode, endemism, and conservation status significantly shape genetic diversity patterns, with endemic and threatened species exhibiting the ...

Exchanging Genes Within a City: Analysis of Pollen Flow Patterns in a Narrow Endemic Plant Species Threatened by Urbanisation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Anthropogenic habitat fragmentation can severely disrupt gene flow in endemic plants that depend on species‐specific native pollinators with limited dispersal ability. Using paternity analysis across fragmented and continuous populations, we found that pollen flow was maintained in intact bushland but was completely absent between fragments separated ...

Floral trait similarity at the community‐level increases reproductive success suggesting facilitation through pollinator sharing

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
The ability of plants to attract pollinators is context‐dependent, influenced by floral traits, abundance, and resources from the plant community. Indirect interactions through shared pollinators, from competition to facilitation, may lead to varied reproductive outputs in plants, and the mechanisms behind these interactions remain to be fully ...

Self-fertility studies of some sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) cultivars and selections

International Journal of Horticultural Science, 2004
Fruit set of two sweet cherry cultivars (Alex' and 'Stella' ) and four Hungarian selections have been studied over two years following open pollination, unassisted self-pollination (autogamy) and artificial self-pollination (geitonogamy).
