The predictive power of pollination syndromes: Passerine pollination in heterantherous Meriania macrophylla (Benth.) Triana (Melastomataceae) [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The cloud forest species Meriania macrophylla (Benth.) Triana has pseudocampanulate flowers with bulbous stamen appendages, typical for the passerine pollination syndrome found in the Melastomataceae tribe Merianieae. The species is further characterized

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 ...

The associations between floral traits and pollinator groups in two Mediterranean mountainous plant communities in the Middle Atlas of Morocco [PDF]
BMC Ecology and EvolutionBackground The relationships between floral traits and pollinators have been extensively studied over the last few decades. The concept of pollination syndrome suggests that plants pollinated by the same group of pollinators tend to develop similar ...

Transcriptomic analysis reveals molecular phenological changes during the flower-to-fruit transition in Vanilla planifolia Andrews (Orchidaceae) [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground The transition from flower to fruit, encompassing flower formation to fruit maturation, has been extensively studied in model plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana. However, the Orchidaceae family, including Vanilla planifolia, exhibits a unique

Does pollination syndrome reflect pollinator efficiency in Silene nutans?
Acta Oecologica, 2020 Abstract 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. This is the case of several Silene species that were viewed as nocturnally pollinated but are factually visited, and then ...

Birds, Bats or Climate? Eucalypt Floral Traits Reflect Pollination Over Abiotic Environment [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionFlowers and their traits vary greatly across species, influenced by biotic and abiotic environmental variation. We explore the relative effects of pollination and abiotic environment on flower size and colour in a species‐rich tree clade (eucalypts ...

Testing Pollination Syndromes in Oenothera (Onagraceae)
Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2021 Pollinators are considered a major selective force in shaping the diversification of angiosperms. It has been hypothesized that convergent evolution of floral form has resulted in “pollination syndromes” - i.e.
