Adaptation to pollination by fungus gnats underlies the evolution of pollination syndrome in the genus Euonymus [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2023 Abstract Background and Aims Dipteran insects are known pollinators of many angiosperms, but knowledge on how flies affect floral evolution is relatively scarce. Some plants pollinated by fungus gnats share a unique set of floral characters (dark red display, flat shape and short stamens), which ...

Reconstructing an historical pollination syndrome: keel flowers. [PDF]
BMC Ecol Evol, 2022 Background Keel flowers are bilaterally symmetrical, pentamerous flowers with three different petal types and reproductive organs enclosed by keel petals; generally there is also connation of floral parts such as stamens and keel petals.

Nectary size is a pollination syndrome trait in Penstemon [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2019 Summary Evolution of complex phenotypes depends on the adaptive importance of individual traits, and the developmental changes required to modify traits. Floral syndromes are complex adaptations to pollinators that include color, nectar, and shape variation.

Does pollination syndrome reflect pollinator efficiency in Silene nutans?
Acta Oecologica, 2020 (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Despite the specialization of floral traits towards particular floral visitors (pollination syndrome), insect-pollinated plants can display generalist rather than specialist interactions with their pollinators.

Geographic isolation, pollination syndromes, and pollinator generalization in Himalayan Roscoea spp. (Zingiberaceae) [PDF]
Ecosphere, 2019 The pollination syndromes have been widely used to predict effective pollinators of plant species and provide the mechanistic explanation of floral diversity.

Nectar metabolomes contribute to pollination syndromes. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary ‘Pollination syndromes’, where convergent floral signals reflect selection from a functional pollinator group, are often characterized by physical features, yet floral rewards such as nectar may also reflect selection from pollinators. We asked whether nectar

A question of data quality-Testing pollination syndromes in Balsaminaceae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Pollination syndromes and their predictive power regarding actual plant-animal interactions have been controversially discussed in the past. We investigate pollination syndromes in Balsaminaceae, utilizing quantitative respectively categorical data sets ...

Beyond pollination syndromes? Reflections on the classifications of Federico Delpino. [PDF]
Ann BotAbstract Background Pollination syndromes are typically defined as idealized pollination modes based on a canonical set of traits. As such, they are often criticized as typological rather than empirical.

Separated Sexes, Shared Consequences: Disentangling Predictors of Genetic Diversity in Dioecious Angiosperms. [PDF]
Ecol EvolSexual systems such as dioecy, although rare in angiosperms, seem to enhance intrapopulation genetic diversity due to obligate outcrossing. Empirical studies had strengthened theoretical predictions that genetic diversity in dioecious angiosperms is ...
