Preliminary study of the pollination syndromes in a fragment of the Caatinga, in PE, Brazil
Biotemas, 2016 The aim of this study was to preliminarily identify the pollination syndromes of plant species in a fragment of the Caatinga, in the municipality of Serrita, Pernambuco, Brazil. A floristic survey was conducted during March 2014 in a 900 m² area.

Pollination syndromes in a specialised plant‐pollinator interaction: does floral morphology predict pollinators in
Plant Biology, 2014 AbstractPollination syndromes are defined as suites of floral traits evolved in response to selection imposed by a particular group of pollinators (e.g., butterflies, hummingbirds, bats). Although numerous studies demonstrated their occurrence in plants pollinated by radically different pollinators, it is less known whether it is possible to identify ...

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 ...

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 ...

Identification of transcription factors controlling floral morphology in wild Petunia species with contrasting pollination syndromes. [PDF]
Plant J, 2020 Adaptation to different pollinators is an important driver of speciation in the angiosperms. Genetic approaches such as QTL mapping have been successfully used to identify the underlying speciation genes.

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 ...

Testing Pollination Syndromes in Oenothera (Onagraceae)
Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2021 Pollinators are considered a major selective force in shaping the diversification of angiosperms. It has been hypothesized that convergent evolution of floral form has resulted in “pollination syndromes” - i.e.

Co-expression clustering across flower development identifies modules for diverse floral forms in Achimenes (Gesneriaceae) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background Genetic pathways involved with flower color and shape are thought to play an important role in the development of flowers associated with different pollination syndromes, such as those associated with bee, butterfly, or hummingbird pollination.
