The predictive power of pollination syndromes: Passerine pollination in heterantherous Meriania macrophylla (Benth.) Triana (Melastomataceae)

open access: yesEcology 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

Pollination by hummingbirds of Vriesea gigantea (Bromeliaceae) populations in Southern Brazil

open access: yesRodriguésia, 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.

Effect of climate, anther morphology and pollination syndrome on pollen availability in Penstemon

open access: yesJournal of Pollination Ecology, 2023
Traditionally, pollen presentation is thought to be a function of pollinator type and visitation frequency. However, despite the repeated observation that pollen presentation is influenced by flower morphology and abiotic factors, these aspects have been

The Effects of Ozone on Visual Attraction Traits of Erodium paularense (Geraniaceae) Flowers: Modelled Perception by Insect Pollinators

open access: yesPlants, 2021
Ozone (O3) effects on the visual attraction traits (color, perception and area) of petals are described for Erodium paularense, an endangered plant species.

Variation in plant traits and phylogenetic structure associated with native and nonnative species in an industrialized flora [PDF]

open access: yesNeoBiota, 2022
Industrialized sites are hotspots for nonnative species because of continuous anthropogenic disturbance and nonnative propagule rain resulting from hitchhikers exchanged through global trade.

Direct and Indirect Effects of Overstory Canopy and Sex-Biased Density Dependence on Reproduction in the Dioecious Shrub Shepherdia canadensis (Elaeagnaceae)

open access: yesDiversity, 2020
This study assessed the reproductive success of a temperate dioecious shrub, Canada buffaloberry, Shepherdia canadensis (L.) Nutt., in central Alberta, Canada, by examining the effects of spatial patterns and overstory canopy on flower and fruit ...

The importance of pollination and dispersal syndromes for the conservation of Cerrado Rupestre fragments on ironstone outcrops immersed in an agricultural landscape [PDF]

open access: yesNeotropical Biology and Conservation, 2022
Studies on pollination and seed dispersal are essential for the conservation of plant diversity. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the pollination and dispersal syndromes of five fragments of the Cerrado Rupestre immersed in an agricultural landscape ...

What Do Nectarivorous Bats Like? Nectar Composition in Bromeliaceae With Special Emphasis on Bat-Pollinated Species

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Floral nectar is the most important reward for pollinators and an integral component of the pollination syndrome. Nectar research has mainly focused on sugars or amino acids, whereas more comprehensive studies on the nectar composition of closely related

Evolutionary Genetics: Inheritance of a Complex Pollination Syndrome [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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.
