Biogeography of orchids and their pollination syndromes in small Mediterranean islands [PDF]
, 2023 Aims Despite the research on orchid in insular conditions, few studies are focused on the spatial distribution of their reproductive syndromes across complex insular systems.

Does pollination syndrome reflect pollinator efficiency in Silene nutans?
Acta Oecologica, 2020 (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Despite the specialization of floral traits towards particular floral visitors (pollination syndrome), insect-pollinated plants can display generalist rather than specialist interactions with their pollinators.

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 ...

Vascular flora in dry-shrub and wet grassland Cerrado seven years after a fire, Federal District, Brazil [PDF]
Check List, 2013 Studies of temporal dynamics for grassland sites report that fire suppression plays a crucial role in floristic changes. The objective of this study was to verify whether after seven years without fire, communities showed variations in terms of ...

Evolutionary Genetics: Inheritance of a Complex Pollination Syndrome [PDF]
Current Biology, 2013 How adaptive traits that are controlled by multiple genes evolve is an intriguing question in evolutionary genetics. A recent study shows that tight linkage allows genes that contribute to a multitrait pollination syndrome to be inherited together as a unit.

Annals of Botany, 2023 Abstract Background and Aims Dipteran insects are known pollinators of many angiosperms, but knowledge on how flies affect floral evolution is relatively scarce. Some plants pollinated by fungus gnats share a unique set of floral characters (dark red display, flat shape and short stamens), which ...

The genetics of reproductive organ morphology in two Petunia species with contrasting pollination syndromes [PDF]
, 2015 Main conclusion Switches between pollination syndromes have happened frequently during angiosperm evolution. Using QTL mapping and reciprocal introgressions, we show that changes in reproductive organ morphology have a simple genetic basis.

PLoS ONE, 2020 Pollination may be severely affected by the decreasing size and increasing isolation of habitat patches. However, most studies that have considered the effects of these two variables on plant-pollinator interactions have been carried out in areas that ...
