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.

A global review of pollination syndromes: a response to ollerton et al. 2015 [PDF]
, 2015 In a recent literature review, we demonstrated that the evolution of floral traits is driven by adaptation to the most effective pollinators. In a critique of this study, Ollerton et al.

The associations between floral traits and pollinator groups in two Mediterranean mountainous plant communities in the Middle Atlas of Morocco [PDF]
BMC Ecology and EvolutionBackground The relationships between floral traits and pollinators have been extensively studied over the last few decades. The concept of pollination syndrome suggests that plants pollinated by the same group of pollinators tend to develop similar ...

A quantitative review of pollination syndromes: do floral traits predict effective pollinators? [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2014 The 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 ...

Integrated Vegetative and Reproductive Traits Reveal Functional Groups and Assembly Mechanisms in a Subtropical Forest Ecotone [PDF]
PlantsIn species-rich forests, the integration of vegetative and reproductive traits defines plant ecological strategies and underpins community assembly. How these trait syndromes assemble into functional groups to facilitate species coexistence in ecotones ...

, 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 ...

Selfing Can Facilitate Transitions between Pollination Syndromes [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 2018 Pollinator-mediated selection on plants can favor transitions to a new pollinator depending on the relative abundances and efficiencies of pollinators present in the community. A frequently observed example is the transition from bee pollination to hummingbird pollination.

Reconstructing an historical pollination syndrome: keel flowers [PDF]
BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022 AbstractBackgroundKeel flowers are bilaterally symmetrical, pentamerous flowers with three different petal types and reproductive organs enclosed by keel petals; generally there is also connation of floral parts such as stamens and keel petals. In this study, the evolution of keel flowers within the order Fabales is explored to investigate whether the ...
