Genomic and transcriptomic resources for candidate gene discovery in the Ranunculids
Applications in Plant Sciences, 2021 Premise Multiple transitions from insect to wind pollination are associated with polyploidy and unisexual flowers in Thalictrum (Ranunculaceae), yet the underlying genetics remains unknown.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Floral color plays a key role as visual signaling and is therefore of great importance in shaping plant-pollinator interactions. Iris (Iridaceae), a genus comprising over 300 species and named after the Greek goddess of the colorful rainbow, is famous ...

A quantitative review of pollination syndromes: do floral traits predict effective pollinators? [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2014 AbstractThe idea of pollination syndromes has been largely discussed but no formal quantitative evaluation has yet been conducted across angiosperms. We present the first systematic review of pollination syndromes that quantitatively tests whether the most effective pollinators for a species can be inferred from suites of floral traits for 417 plant ...

Pollination and dispersal systems in a Cerrado remnant (Brazilian Savanna) in Southeastern Brazil
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2011 The aim of this work was to identify the pollination and dispersal systems among the species in a disjunct marginal cerrado area and to compare the frequency of these systems to those found in other Neotropical vegetation.

Environmental and Experimental Biology, 2022 To test for pollination syndrome and to complement records of foraging visitors of an associate mangrove, Barringtonia racemosa (L.) Spreng., aspects of its floral biology were investigated. Phenology and floral rewards (pollen viability, pollen histochemistry and nectar sugar concentration) were focused on owing to their role in plant-pollinator ...

PLoS Biology, 2023 In the formation of species, adaptation by natural selection generates distinct combinations of traits that function well together. The maintenance of adaptive trait combinations in the face of gene flow depends on the strength and nature of selection ...

Influence of plant reproductive systems on the evolution of hummingbird pollination
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Many hummingbird‐pollinated plant species evolved from bee‐pollinated ancestors independently in many different habitats in North and South America. The mechanisms leading to these transitions are not completely understood.

Beyond buzz‐pollination – departures from an adaptive plateau lead to new pollination syndromes [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2018 SummaryPollination syndromes describe recurring adaptation to selection imposed by distinct pollinators. We tested for pollination syndromes in Merianieae (Melastomataceae), which contain bee‐ (buzz‐), hummingbird‐, flowerpiercer‐, passerine‐, bat‐ and rodent‐pollinated species.

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021 Floral traits associated with functional groups of pollinators have been largely employed to understand mechanisms of floral diversification. Hymenaea is a monophyletic legume genus widely recognized to being bat-pollinated, with nocturnal anthesis and ...

Avian pollinators and the pollination syndromes of selected Mountain Fynbos plants
South African Journal of Botany, 1984 The flowering phenology of Erica and proteaceous plants and the abundance of nectarivorous birds were monitored in Mountain Fynbos in the Jonkershoek State Forest, South Africa. Species tended to flower for short periods in summer at high altitudes, or for longer periods in autumn and winter at low altitudes.
