Global Trends in the Status of Bird and Mammal Pollinators [PDF]
, 2015 Biodiversity is declining, with direct and indirect effects on ecosystem func-tions and services that are poorly quantified. Here, we develop the first globalassessment of trends in pollinators, focusing on pollinating birds and mam-mals.

Long‐term progression of inbreeding depression in a Mediterranean ornithophilous shrub
Plant Species Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 103-117, January 2022., 2022 In Anagyris foetida, an ornithophilous Mediterranean species, vegetative and reproductive traits were analyzed in two progenies (selfed and outcrossed) 12 years after transplantation. Levels of inbreeding depression (ID) found were similar to the levels obtained 3 years after transplantation.

Phylogeny, Adaptive Radiation, and Historical Biogeography of Bromeliaceae Inferred from ndhF Sequence Data [PDF]
, 2007 Cladistic analysis of ndhF sequences identifies eight major bromeliad clades arranged in ladderlike fashion. The traditional subfamilies Tillandsioideae and Bromelioideae are monophyletic, but Pitcairnioideae are paraphyletic, requiring the description of

Nectary structure of Ornithidium sophronitis Rchb.F. (Orchidaceae: Maxillariinae)
Acta Agrobotanica, 2012 Most orchids do not produce floral food-rewards. Instead, they attract pollinators by mimicry or deceit. When present, the most common floral food-reward is nectar.

Delayed differentiation of epidermal cells walls can underlie pedomorphosis in plants: the case of pedomorphic petals in the hummingbird-pollinated Caiophora hibiscifolia (Loasaceae, subfam. Loasoideae) species. [PDF]
Evodevo, 2022 Understanding the relationship between macroevolutionary diversity and variation in organism development is an important goal of evolutionary biology. Variation in the morphology of several plant and animal lineages is attributed to pedomorphosis, a case

Nectary structure in Symphyglossum sanguineum (Rchb.f. ) Schltr. (Orchidaceae)
Acta Agrobotanica, 2012 Ornithophily occurs in a great number of orchid species but despite this, researchers have largely neglected to investigate their nectaries. The aim of this study is to describe the nectary structure of Symphyglossum sanguineum, a species presumed to be ...
