Pollination Syndromes and Floral Specialization
Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 2004▪ Abstract Floral evolution has often been associated with differences in pollination syndromes. Recently, this conceptual structure has been criticized on the grounds that flowers attract a broader spectrum of visitors than one might expect based on their syndromes and that flowers often diverge without excluding one type of pollinator in favor of ...

Pollination Syndromes: A Global Pattern of Convergent Evolution Driven by the Most Effective Pollinator [PDF]
, 2015 Convergent evolution of floral traits driven by pollinators has resulted in floral syndromes shared among different plant lineages. However, the flowers of many plant species are often visited by different pollinator groups, which apparently contradict the idea of syndromes.

Do floral syndromes predict specialisation in plant pollination systems? Assessment of diurnal and nocturnal pollination of Escallonia myrtoidea [PDF]
New Zealand Journal of Botany, 2006 Pollination syndromes lead to questions concerning the role of different suites of pollinators on the pollination success of plants. Escallonia myrtoidea exhibits floral traits associated with pollination by diurnal butterflies; however, flowers remain ...

The genetic dissection of floral pollination syndromes
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2006A major factor in the evolution of the angiosperms is the adaptation of plants to animal pollinators. The specific morphology of a flower, its color, nectar composition and scent production can all contribute to reproductive success by attracting pollinators and by limiting out-crossing with other species.

Are floral traits good predictors of effective pollinators? A test of pollination syndromes
Ecological Research, 2021Abstract Pollination syndromes have been widely used to predict the groups of pollinators of plants. Their predictability has been demonstrated for plant species pollinated by bees, birds, and bats. However, the importance of other aspects on the predictability of pollination syndromes still remain unknown.

Testing pollination syndromes in Melastomataceae
2021The concept of pollination syndromes is used to study and analyze convergences in floral trait combinations across flowering plants. Pollination syndromes are based on the assumption that pollinators with similar behavior, morphology and sensory system (functional group) exert similar selective pressure on a flower, leading to convergent floral ...
