Botanical journal of the Linnean Society, 2023 Mutualistic plant-pollinator interactions play a critical role in the diversification of flowering plants. The spatiotemporal correlates of such interactions can be understood in a phylogenetic context.

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.

Pollination syndromes in African Marantaceae. [PDF]
Ann Bot, 2009 The Marantaceae (550 spp.) is the most derived family in the order Zingiberales and exhibits a complex explosive pollination mechanism. To understand the evolutionary significance of this unique process of pollen transfer, comparative morphological and ecological studies were conducted in Gabon.During a total stay of 11 months, 31 species of ...

Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2021 The presence of ultraviolet (UV, wavelengths between 300-400 nm) reflectance in insect-pollinated flowers has been linked to pollination efficiency and pollination shifts, but little is known about its prevalence and function in other pollination systems

American-Eurasian journal of botany, 2021 PREMISE Animal pollination is critical to plant reproduction and may cause convergent evolution of pollination syndromes. Pollination syndromes in Castilleja have been distinguished based on floral traits and historical observations of floral visitors ...

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.

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021 Floral traits associated with functional groups of pollinators have been largely employed to understand mechanisms of floral diversification. Hymenaea is a monophyletic legume genus widely recognized to being bat-pollinated, with nocturnal anthesis and ...

PLoS Biology, 2023 In the formation of species, adaptation by natural selection generates distinct combinations of traits that function well together. The maintenance of adaptive trait combinations in the face of gene flow depends on the strength and nature of selection ...

Pollination syndromes in the 21st century: where do we stand and where may we go?
New Phytologist, 2020 Pollination syndromes, recurring suites of floral traits appearing in connection with specific functional pollinator groups, have served for decades to organise floral diversity under a functional–ecological perspective.

Evolution & Development, 2021 Fusion of petals to form a corolla tube is considered a key innovation contributing to the diversification of many flowering plant lineages. Corolla tube length often varies dramatically among species and is a major determinant of pollinator preference ...
