Floral syndromes in Aquilegia (Ranunculaceae) are associated with nectar- but not pollen-collecting pollinators AbstractBackground and Aims. Plant–pollinator interactions span a continuum from strict specialization to generalization and most flowers are visited by mo

🌸Takeaway: In Aquilegia, nectar-collecting pollinators appear to be the main evolutionary drivers of floral form, perhaps because they’re more efficient pollinators. (9/9)

Contrasting effects of pollinators on the pollination success of floral morphs of a distylous bowl-shaped flower AbstractBackground and aims. In distylous species, the reciprocal arrangement of sexual organs between long-styled and short-styled individuals promotes as

🌼 Usia flies uphold the distylous balance in Linum narbonense, while less efficient visitors may disrupt it, subtly biasing floral function and shaping plant reproduction. (10/10)

💡 Even short-term mismatches in plant–pollinator timing can shape complex and fluctuating selection patterns, maintaining floral trait diversity and possibly slowing evolutionary change. (7/7)

Geographical variation in flower colour of a food-deceptive orchid reflects local pollinator preferences AbstractBackground and Aims. Intraspecific variation in floral traits can reflect shifts among different pollinator niches. We investigated whether a geogr

🌺🦋🐝Flowers aren’t just pretty, they’re shaped by the ecological dance between plant and pollinator. And sometimes, that dance leads to spectacular diversity. (8/8)

Lin-Feng Qiu et al. investigated the #BreedingSystem and #PollinationBiology of #ActaeaPurpurea and #ActaeaJaponica, determined that A. purpurea was primarily pollinated by #VespaBicolor, and #CumulativeNectarVolume could be a crucial factor in attracting V. bicolor.
