Furthermore, as nectar robbing was highly frequent, preferences of robbers for specific floral traits and their impact on legitimate pollinations were also evaluated. The flowers of this species are characterized by significant variations in floral characteristics and nectar rewards. A significant and ...
Difference in Floral Traits, Pollination, and Reproductive Success between White and Blue Flowers of Gentiana leucomelaena (Gentianaceae) in an Alpine Meadow. Junpeng Mu,Guoyong Li,Karl J. Niklas. ARCTIC ANTARCTIC AND ALPINE RESEARCH . 2011
The idea of pollination syndromes has been largely discussed in the literature but there is a lack of a quantitative review of the convergence of floral traits of plants and their pollinators. We present the first evaluation of pollination syndromes that quantitatively tests, via meta-analysis, ...

Floral traits Pollen counts The anthers of 10 flowers at male and female phases were collected, counted, dried and placed on a sieve (90 µm) to be rubbed to collect pollen grains. The quantity of pollen grains was weighed. Pollen counts were performed at Lille-1 University (Evo-Eco...
[1,2]. Two more distant relatives of the cultivated buckwheat areF. homotropicumandF. tataricum[3]. Both of them have an important favorable trait absent in the common buckwheat, the ability to self-pollination (self-compatibility). Thus they have a potential for use in breeding for the ...
We propose a hypothesis that a fully deceptive mode of pollination may evolve directly from mutualistic or partially mutualistic systems that maintained the fidelity of the original pollinator(s) even though rewards were lost. Methods Study species Epipactis veratrifolia (syn. E. consimilis) is a ...
The spatial scale at which pollinators are attracted by floral traits has important consequences for pollinator foraging efficiency1, resource partitioning2, and plant gene flow3,4. Although floral scent and color can attract pollinators at a scale of meters5,6,7,8,9, they cease to be informa...
