3D pollination biology using micro-computed tomography and geometric morphometrics in <i>Theobroma cacao</i>. [PDF]
Appl Plant Sci, 2023 Abstract Premise Imaging technologies that capture three‐dimensional (3D) variation in floral morphology at micro‐ and nano‐resolutions are increasingly accessible. In herkogamous flowers, such as those of Theobroma cacao, structural barriers between anthers and stigmas represent bottlenecks that restrict pollinator size and access to reproductive ...

An elevational gradient in floral traits and pollinator assemblages in the Neotropical species Costus guanaiensis var. tarmicus in Peru. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 We analyzed floral traits and pollinator assemblages in the Neotropical species Costus guanaiensis var. tarmicus along a steep elevational gradient in Peru. Results show floral traits and pollinator assemblage variation along the elevational gradient. We examined our results considering two hypotheses: (1) local adaptation to different bee assemblages ...

The predictive power of pollination syndromes: Passerine pollination in heterantherous Meriania macrophylla (Benth.) Triana (Melastomataceae). [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 We tested the concept of pollination syndromes by investigating the tropical tree species Meriania macrophylla. In a previous study, this species had been predicted as passerine pollinated based on bulbous stamen appendages serving as nutritive food‐body reward for passerines.

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 3, Page 764-775, May 2022., 2022 Using the seed dispersal effectiveness framework, we tracked seed fate in a dispersal limited system finding that ant workers (Formicidae, Ectatomma ruidum) act as secondary dispersers for the pioneer tree Zanthoxylum ekmanii (Rutaceae) whose seeds have no visible adaptation for ant dispersal.

In planta localisation patterns of MADS domain proteins during floral development in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
, 2009 Background: MADS domain transcription factors play important roles in various developmental processes in flowering plants. Members of this family play a prominent role in the transition to flowering and the specification of floral organ identity. Several

The effect of polyploidy and hybridization on the evolution of floral colour in Nicotiana (Solanaceae). [PDF]
, 2015 Speciation in angiosperms can be accompanied by changes in floral colour that may influence pollinator preference and reproductive isolation. This study investigates whether changes in floral colour can accompany polyploid and homoploid hybridization ...
