Pollination syndromes in a specialised plant-pollinator interaction: does floral morphology predict pollinators in Calceolaria?
(Wiley, 2015)
Pollination syndromes are defined as suites of floral traits evolved in response to selection
imposed by a particular group of pollinators (e.g., butterflies, hummingbirds,
bats). Although numerous studies demonstrated ...
The most effective pollinator principle applies to new invasive pollinators
(Royal Society, 2018-06)
G. L. Stebbins' most effective pollinator principle states that when pollinators are not limiting, plants are expected to specialize and adapt to the most abundant and effective pollinator species available. In this study, ...

Pollination ecology of the Cerrado species Eschweilera nana (Lecythidaceae subfam. Lecythidoideae)
(2013-09-06)
Eschweilera nana is pollinated by a guild of pollinators consisting of mostly bees. Effective pollinators are large bees able to force their way into the closed androecium to access nectar. The morphology of the flowers ...
Flower diversification across “pollinator climates”: Sensory aspects of corolla color evolution in the florally diverse south american genus Jaborosa (Solanaceae)
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-12)
Flower phenotype may diverge within plant lineages when moving across “pollinator climates” (geographic differences in pollinator abundance or preference). Here we explored the potential importance of pollinators as drivers ...
Do floral syndromes predict specialisation in plant pollination systems? Assessment of diurnal and nocturnal pollination of escallonia myrtoidea
(2006)
Pollination syndromes lead to questions concerning the role of different suites of pollinators on the pollination success of plants. Escallonia myrtoidea exhibits floral traits associated with pollination by diurnal ...
Pollinator declines and the stability of plant–pollinator networks
(Wiley, 2020-04)
Population declines of pollinators constitute a major concern for the fate of biodiversity and associated ecosystem services in a context of global change. Massive declines of pollinator populations driven by habitat loss, ...
