Floral diversification and the evolution of brood-site deceptive pollination in Jaborosa (Solanaceae)
(International Association For Plant Taxonomy, 2015-06)
The genus Jaborosa (Solanaceae), which comprises 22 species endemic to southern South America, encompasses remarkable flower variation. To test if this interspecific variation is related to transitions in pollination mode ...
Modularity, pollination systems, and interaction turnover in plant-pollinator networks across space
(Ecological Society of America, 2016-05)
Mutualistic interaction networks have been shown to be structurally conserved over space and time while pairwise interactions show high variability. In such networks, modularity is the division of species into compartments, ...
Extreme variation in floral characters and its consequences for pollinator attraction among populations of an Andean cactus
(Oxford University Press, 2009-04)
Background and aims: A South American cactus species, Echinopsis ancistrophora (Cactaceae), with dramatic among-population variation in floral traits is presented. Methods: Eleven populations of E. ancistrophora were studied ...
The costs and benefits of pollinator dependence: empirically based simulations predict raspberry fruit quality
(Ecological Society of America, 2018-07-24)
Globally, agriculture increasingly depends on pollinators to produce many seed and fruit crops. However, what constitutes optimal pollination service for pollinator-dependent crops remains unanswered. We developed a ...
Reproductive biology of six Brazilian Myrtaceae: is there a syndrome associated with buzz-pollination?
(RSNZ PUBLISHING, 2009)
The floral phenology and reproductive biology of six sympatric arboreal Myrtaceae species were studied in the coastal plain forest (Ubatuba, Brazil, 44 degrees 48`W 23 degrees 22`S), from September 1999 to April 2002. ...
Flower movement balances pollinator needs and pollen protection
(Wiley, 2018)
Flower signaling and orientation are key characteristics that determine a flower's pollinator guild. However, many flowers actively move during their daily cycle, changing both their detectability and accessibility to ...
