THE GIANT LOBELIAS: PACHYCAULY, BIOGEOGRAPHY, ORNITHOPHILY AND CONTINENTAL DRIFT [PDF]
New Phytologist, 1975 SUMMARYRecent revisions of the Asian, Jamaican and African species of pachycaul lobelias raise a number of evolutionary and biogeographical problems. Discussion of the apparent forest pachycaul ancestry of the African species is applied to problems of biogeography, pollination and Continental Drift. The available facts are accommodated in an hypothesis,

Ornithophily for the nonspecialist: Differential pollination efficiency of the Macaronesian island paleoendemic Navaea phoenicea (Malvaceae) by generalist passerines [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2017 PREMISE OF THE STUDY:A bird pollination syndrome exists in the Canary Islands archipelago across independent plant lineages despite the absence of specialist birds. The pollination efficiency of current floral visitors remains unknown for many plant species despite this being a fundamental factor in testing hypotheses about the origin of the syndrome ...
