Floral Color Change Mediated by Pollen Input–Output and Its Manipulation of Pollinator Foraging Behavior in Heterostylous Plant Arnebia guttata (Boraginaceae) [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe phenomenon of floral color change (FCC) in angiosperms is frequently associated with pollination events. However, research on triggers, functions, and ecological effects of FCC still remains confined to phenomenological speculation or model‐based ...

Heterostyly accelerates diversification via reduced extinction in primroses [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2014 The exceptional species diversity of flowering plants, exceeding that of their sister group more than 250-fold, is especially evident in floral innovations, interactions with pollinators and sexual systems. Multiple theories, emphasizing flower–pollinator interactions, genetic effects of mating systems or high evolvability, predict that floral ...

Is heterostyly rare on oceanic islands? [PDF]
AoB Plants, 2015 Heterostyly has been considered rare or absent on oceanic islands. However, there has been no comprehensive review on this issue. Is heterostyly truly rare on oceanic islands? What makes heterostyly rare on such islands? To answer these questions, we review the reproductive studies on heterostyly on oceanic islands, with special emphasis on the ...

Asymmetrical disassortative pollination mediated by long‐/short‐tongued pollinators in a distylous Limonium myrianthum (Plumbaginaceae) with a short corolla tubular small flower [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionIn heterostylous plants, short‐tongued pollinators are often ineffective/inefficient owing to the limitations imposed by a long corolla tube. However, it is unclear how disassortative pollen transfer is achieved in small flowers.

Acta Agrobotanica, 2013 The experiment was carried out in a three unheated plastic tunnels in 1998-2000. The aim of this study was to estimate the effects of flower's heterostyly and two methods of flower pollination (self-pollination and using bumble-bee) as well as flower ...

Heterostyly in Goniolimon italicum (Plumbaginaceae), endemic to Abruzzo (central Apennines, Italy)
Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2015 Goniolimon italicum is an endemic species to central Apennines (Italy). Here we provide the first report of heterostyly in this species. Two morphological types were identified: an S-morph with stamen filaments longer than gynoecia, stigmas with a ...
