Anther development in tribe Epidendreae: orchids with contrasting pollination syndromes [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background Epidendreae is one of the most diverse tribes among the orchids with remarkable variation in life form, floral morphology and pollination syndromes.

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.

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

Typology in pollination biology: Lessons from an historical critique
Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2011 Typological schemes that describe putative floral adaptations for pollinators have played a central role in pollination biology. In 1882 the prominent German botanist and Darwinist Hermann Müller commented critically on a precursor of modern versions of ...

Using the Literature to Test Pollination Syndromes — Some Methodological Cautions [PDF]
Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2015 “Pollination syndromes” are specific combinations of floral traits that are proposed to evolve convergently across angiosperm lineages in response to different types of animal pollinators.

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 ...

Beyond pollination syndromes? Reflections on the classifications of Federico Delpino. [PDF]
Ann BotAbstract Background Pollination syndromes are typically defined as idealized pollination modes based on a canonical set of traits. As such, they are often criticized as typological rather than empirical.

Adaptations of orchids (Orchidaceae Juss.) for pollination
Інтродукція Рослин, 2010 The paper provides of overview of recent publications devoted to different pollination syndromes. The representatives of Orchidaceae family have an extraordinary specialised pollination syndromes – the most orchids are pollinated by only one specialised ...

Bioclimatic niches are conserved and unrelated to pollination syndromes in Antillean Gesneriaceae [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 The study of the evolution of abiotic niches can be informative regarding the speciation drivers in a given group. Yet, two factors that could potentially affect niche evolution have seldom been addressed concomitantly, which are biotic interactions and ...
