Pollination and floral biology of Adonis vernalis L. (Ranunculaceae) – a case study of threatened species

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
Although the knowledge of pollination systems of rare and threatened species is one of the principles for development of optimal conservation and management strategies, the data about their pollination requirements are scarce or incomplete.

Typology in pollination biology: Lessons from an historical critique

open access: yesJournal of Pollination Ecology, 2011
Typological schemes that describe putative floral adaptations for pollinators have played a central role in pollination biology. In 1882 the prominent German botanist and Darwinist Hermann Müller commented critically on a precursor of modern versions of ...

Pollination biology of basal angiosperms (ANITA grade) [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, 2009
The first three branches of the angiosperm phylogenetic tree consist of eight families with ∼201 species of plants (the ANITA grade). The oldest flower fossil for the group is dated to the Early Cretaceous (115–125 Mya) and identified to the Nymphaeales.
