Pollination Syndromes and Floral Specialization (2004, background): “We may be observing species that have relatively recently had their pollinator communities changed from what they were during their recent evolutionary history.”
PART OF A SPECIAL ISSUE ON POLLINATOR-DRIVEN SPECIATION Pollinator shifts and the evolution of spur length in the moth-pollinated orchid Platanthera bifolia (2014, background): “…selection has been examined at the interspecific level by phylogenetic studies mapping shifts in pollinators and floral characters (e.g. Armbruster, 1993; Armbruster and Baldwin, 1998; Johnson et al., 1998; Wilson et al., 2004; Whittall and Hodges, 2007; Van der Niet and Johnson, 2012).”
Evaluation of pollination syndromes in Antillean Gesneriaceae: evidence for bat, hummingbird and generalized flowers (2009, unknown): “Other floral traits associated with the ornithophilous syndrome may serve to enhance efficiency of pollen transfer (tubular corollas; e.g. Castellanos et al. 2004), or signal the presence of a common food source (corolla colour), but are not the primary attractants for the birds (Stiles 1976).”
Plant defense syndromes. (2006, background): “Key words: Asclepias; cardenolides; chemical ecology; cluster analysis; coevolution; Danaus plexippus; herbivory; latex; milkweed; monarch butterfly; phylogenetically independent contrasts; phytochemistry; plant–insect interactions.”
The specialization continuum in pollination systems: diversity of concepts and implications for ecology, evolution and conservation (2017, background): “There is some evidence for the operation of advertisement filters through colour biases, for example white flowers being differentially attractive to nocturnal insects and red flowers reducing bee visitation sufficiently to promote specialization on bird pollination (see discussion in Chittka et al.”
Evolutionary Transitions in Floral Color (2008, methodology): “All species of these colors are visited primarily by bees (Wilson et al. 2004).”
A land for flowers and bees: studying pollination ecology in Mediterranean communities (2005, background): “…example, red tubular flowers with dilute nectar and exerted anthers are often associated with bird pollination in the pollination syndromes concept (Wilson et al., 2004), yet empirical evidence suggests that hummingbird preferences are not inherent but can be learned and modified by conditioning…”
Progress in understanding pollination systems in New Zealand (2005, background): “Few of these modifications within a genus are dramatic shifts from one blossom class to another which is often found in some North American genera such as Phlox (Polemoniaceae) (Grant & Grant 1965) or Penstemon (Scrophulariaceae) (Wilson et al. 2004) and South African genera such as Disa (Orchidacea”
Explaining Evolutionary Shifts between Bee and Hummingbird Pollination: Convergence, Divergence, and Directionality (2008, background): “The two syndromes form distinct clusters in an ordination of 49 species (Wilson et al. 2004); yet, even among the species that we refer to as ornithophiles, there is variation in whether bees are retained as copollinators or excluded from access to nectaries.”
Working Towards a Holistic View on Flower Traits— How Floral Scents Mediate Plant-Animal Interactions in Concert with Other Floral Characters (2015, background): “g.(23,24) The goal of this review article is to re-adopt the approach of pollination syndromes by integrating measurements on visual, morphological and nutritional traits (in a ratio rather than nominal scale) into detailed investigation of floral scentmediated flower–animal interactions.”
Start making scents: the challenge of integrating chemistry into pollination ecology (2008, background): “If most plant– pollinator interactions are generalized on the community scale, and the impact of a given pollinator on floral phenotype perforce should be diffuse, why do comparative biologists continue to find evidence for convergent evolution of syndrome-like trait clusters at the phylogenetic sca”
