American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Floral pigments primarily serve to attract pollinators through color display and also contribute to protection against environmental stress. Although pigment composition can be plastically altered under stress, its impact on pollinator color perception remains poorly understood.

Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden, 1974 (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) A study of four Piper species and one Pothomorphe species in Costa Rica showed that insects do visit some Piperaceae flowers and are probably involved in pollination. Due to the globular nature of the pollen it is not likelythat wind or rain are significantpollination agents.

Stacked scattering: The key to bright flowers lies in the mesophyll
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise The coloration of flowers is caused by wavelength‐selective absorption by pigments and scattering of light by floral structures. Although the molecular, physiological, and chemical properties of floral pigments have been studied in considerable detail, how floral structures contribute to the visual signal remains largely unknown.

Cumulative individual seed production in the polycarpic Caesalpinia gilliesii (Fabaceae): effects of temporal variability in floral display, plant density and pollination [PDF]
, 2016 In polycarpic species, floral display size and density of conspecific neighbours are time variable as well as their effects on pollination and fecundity.

Temperature and the evolution of flower color: A review
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Flower colors brighten our natural world. How and why have they evolved? How might ongoing global warming alter their evolutionary trajectories? In this review, I examine the influence of ambient temperature on the evolution of flower color.
