Reproductive and Pollination Characteristics of Three Understory Impatiens Species

Horticulturae
Understory flowering plants often face limitations in pollinator availability. This necessitates an investigation of pollination mechanisms and reproductive traits to understand their survival strategies. Floral syndromes, which are critical determinants

The missing woodland story: Implications of 1700 years of stand‐scale change on ‘naturalness’ and managing remnant broadleaved woodlands

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1572-1587, June 2026.
Abstract Longer‐term perspectives—equivalent to the lifespans of long‐lived trees—are required to fully inform perceptions of ‘naturalness’ used in woodland conservation and management. Stand‐scale dynamics of an old growth temperate woodland are reconstructed using palaeoecological data.

Differences in heterospecific pollen deposition across pollination syndromes in the Monteverde area, December 2017

, 2017
Pollination is an important ecosystem service, increasing the ability of plants to adapt to changing environments through the process of sexual reproduction. The efficiency of pollination can be reduced due to the transfer of heterospecific pollen, which

A role for environmental niche divergence in the rapid radiation of Nicotiana section Suaveolentes (Solanaceae)

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Nicotiana sect. Suaveolentes is a group that has undergone recent and rapid radiation, a clade that originated ca. six million years ago and has since rapidly speciated throughout Australia, with a few taxa on Pacific Islands and one in Namibia (Africa). Post‐tetraploidisation, species in N. sect.

Molecular phylogenetics clarifies generic boundaries of the papilionoid legume subtribe Clitoriinae

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Clitoriinae is a morphologically distinctive and pantropically distributed subtribe within the legume tribe Phaseoleae (Leguminosae, Papilionoideae), yet its genus‐level taxonomic classification remains uncertain. This study presents the most comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of Clitoriinae to date, integrating plastid (matK/trnK) and ...

Syndromes and Webs: Specialists and Generalists

, 2011
This chapter examines the core issues raised by critiques of pollination syndromes and alternative approaches to characterizing pollination in communities, in the context of floral and pollinator specialization.

A phylogenomic framework for species delimitation in Kirganelia (Phyllanthaceae): Tracing a history of reticulate evolution

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Kirganelia (Phyllanthaceae) is a palaeotropical genus recently reinstated as separate from Phyllanthus, yet species boundaries remain unclear, especially within the widespread and morphologically variable K. reticulata complex. To resolve this, we generated Angiosperms353‐based phylogenomic data from 233 samples and applied an integrative ...

Macroevolutionary Tests of Pollination Syndromes: A Reply to Fenster et al.

, 2009
Studies of floral ecology and evolution are often centered on the idea that particular floral trait combinations, or syndromes, represent adaptations for particular pollinators.
