THE POLLINATION BIOLOGY OF TILIA
American Journal of Botany, 1976An anthecological study of Tilia in the Great Plains and New England was undertaken for both native and introduced species. The floral bracts are postulated as being at least as important in pollinator attraction as they are in fruit dispersal. A characteristic sweet odor is always present, but becomes stronger at dusk.

The saga of pollination biology
2010Developmental events leading to seed set in plants are broadly categorized into three phases of pollination biology: (1) formation of male and female gametes (2) dispersal and deposition of pollen grains on the pistils of individual of the same species and (3) pollen — pistil interaction leading to double-fertilization.

Environmental biology: heat reward for insect pollinators.
Nature, 2003In neotropical forests, adults of many large scarab beetle species spend most of their time inside the floral chambers of heat-producing flowers, where they feed and mate throughout the night and rest during the following day, before briefly flying to another flower.

Biology of the Obligate Pollination Mutualism
2017Most zoophilous plants are adapted to attract reliable pollination agents by providing floral rewards such as nectar and pollen and by advertising their flowers with nongreen color and nonleafy odor, and facilitate pollination by protruding styles and stamens from flowers.

Pollination biology ofNierembergia (Solanaceae)
Plant Systematics and Evolution, 1991A morphological and anatomical description of the floral syndrome ofNierembergia is given, including a survey of the presence of elaiophores in most of its species, chromatography of the floral oils and observations on the pollinator behaviour. The principal pollinators areTapinotaspis spp. includingT.

Pollination biology of two chiropterophilous agaves in Arizona
American Journal of Botany, 2000I studied the pollination biology of two closely related species of agave, Agave palmeri and A. chrysantha (Agavaceae), which exhibit several chiropterophilous (bat‐pollinated) traits. Floral studies, floral visitor observations, and pollination studies were conducted over four summers at six different sites to examine floral traits and determine the ...

Pollination Biology and Secondary Pollinators in Seven North American Aquilegia Species
International Journal of Plant SciencesPremise of research. The diversity of North American columbine species likely resulted from a radiation promoted by pollinators. Despite previous studies involving plant-pollinator interactions, pollinators have been documented for less than half the 25 North American species, and discussions of floral syndromes have focused on nectar-collecting ...
