Convergence without divergence in North American red-flowering Silene
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Combinations of correlated floral traits have arisen repeatedly across angiosperms through convergent evolution in response to pollinator selection to optimize reproduction.

Reproductive biology and nectar secretion dynamics of Penstemon gentianoides (Plantaginaceae): a perennial herb with a mixed pollination system? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Background In many plant species, pollination syndromes predict the most effective pollinator. However, other floral visitors may also offer effective pollination services and promote mixed pollination systems.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Plant specialization and pollination network structure play important roles in community assembly. Floral traits can mediate plant–pollinator interactions and thus have important impacts on nestedness and modularity of pollination network.

Pollination syndromes in African Marantaceae [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2009 The Marantaceae (550 spp.) is the most derived family in the order Zingiberales and exhibits a complex explosive pollination mechanism. To understand the evolutionary significance of this unique process of pollen transfer, comparative morphological and ecological studies were conducted in Gabon.During a total stay of 11 months, 31 species of ...

Effective pollinators of Asian sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera): contemporary pollinators may not reflect the historical pollination syndrome. [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2009 If stabilizing selection by pollinators is a prerequisite for pollinator-mediated floral evolution, spatiotemporal variation in the pollinator assemblage may confuse the plant-pollinator interaction in a given species. Here, effective pollinators in a living fossil plant Nelumbo nucifera (Nelumbonaceae) were examined to test whether beetles are major ...

Pollination by hummingbirds of Vriesea gigantea (Bromeliaceae) populations in Southern Brazil
Rodriguésia, 2020 The pollination syndrome hypothesis usually does not successfully apply to the diversity of floral phenotypes or help predict the pollinators of most plant species.

Dissection of Floral Pollination Syndromes in Petunia [PDF]
Genetics, 2004 Abstract Animal-mediated pollination is essential in the reproductive biology of many flowering plants and tends to be associated with pollination syndromes, sets of floral traits that are adapted to particular groups of pollinators.

Variation in plant traits and phylogenetic structure associated with native and nonnative species in an industrialized flora [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2022 Industrialized sites are hotspots for nonnative species because of continuous anthropogenic disturbance and nonnative propagule rain resulting from hitchhikers exchanged through global trade.
