Evolutionary Genetics: Inheritance of a Complex Pollination Syndrome [PDF]
Current Biology, 2013 How adaptive traits that are controlled by multiple genes evolve is an intriguing question in evolutionary genetics. A recent study shows that tight linkage allows genes that contribute to a multitrait pollination syndrome to be inherited together as a unit.

Ambophily in Olea ferruginea: a transitional state in the pollination syndrome
Plant Biosystems, 2022A number of plants species believed to be wind pollinated (anemophilous) are actually pollinated both by wind as well as insects (ambophily) because all the traits of the two pollination modes have not evolved simultaneously.

Pollination biology of Annona squamosa L. (Annonaceae): Evidence for pollination syndrome
Scientia Horticulturae, 2012Abstract Pollination biology of Annona squamosa was investigated in the context of functional specialization and pollination syndrome. Hermaphroditic flower exhibited protogynous dichogamy as stigma became receptive a day before anther dehiscence. Flowers produce moderately high number (16,280 ± 324) of spherical and medium size (98.6 μm × 87.3 μm ...

The American Midland Naturalist, 2014
Abstract The red tubular flowers of Penstemon eatonii (Plantaginaceae) typify the classic pollination syndrome for hummingbirds. Bees are thought to diminish its seed siring potential, but we found that foraging female generalist bees (Apis, Anthophora) deposited substantial amounts of conspecific pollen on P. eatonii stigmas.

Pollination Syndromes and Floral Specialization
Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 2004▪ Abstract Floral evolution has often been associated with differences in pollination syndromes. Recently, this conceptual structure has been criticized on the grounds that flowers attract a broader spectrum of visitors than one might expect based on their syndromes and that flowers often diverge without excluding one type of pollinator in favor of ...

The pollination syndrome ofDeplanchea tetraphylla (Bignoniaceae)
Plant Systematics and Evolution, 1986The reproductive structures ofDeplanchea tetraphylla (Bignoniaceae) exhibit a significant number of unusual features: inflorescence with an apical “platform”; flowers yellow, short-tubed, strongly zygomorphic; mouth closed through lateral compression; stamens and style long-exserted, erect or slightly reclined; nectar dark brown, exposed in the spoon ...

Darwin’s inflorescence syndrome is indeed associated with bee pollination
Plant Reproduction, 2023A relationship between vertical acropetal inflorescences with protandrous flowers and bee pollination was hypothesized by Darwin back in 1877. Here we provide empirical evidence supporting this association across the angiosperms. Plant reproduction is not only determined by flower traits but also by the arrangement of flowers within inflorescences ...

The genetic dissection of floral pollination syndromes
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2006A major factor in the evolution of the angiosperms is the adaptation of plants to animal pollinators. The specific morphology of a flower, its color, nectar composition and scent production can all contribute to reproductive success by attracting pollinators and by limiting out-crossing with other species.

Pollinator specialization and pollination syndromes of three related North AmericanSilene
Ecology, 2009Community and biogeographic surveys often conclude that plant–pollinator interactions are highly generalized. Thus, a central implication of the pollination syndrome concept, that floral trait evolution occurs primarily via specialized interactions of plants with their pollinators, has been questioned. However, broad surveys may not distinguish whether

An evolutionary disruption of the buzz pollination syndrome in neotropical montane plants.
American-Eurasian journal of botanyPREMISE Under pollinator limitations, specialized pollination syndromes may evolve toward contrasting responses: a generalized syndrome with increased pollinator attraction, pollinator reward, and pollen transfer capacity; or the selfing syndrome with ...
