• A multivariate search for pollination syndromes among penstemons (2004, background): “Correlations of syndrome characters with each other Pollination syndromes are often defined as correlations of characters with each other and with the principal pollinators (Thomson et al. 2000, Fenster et al. 2003).”
• Pollination Syndromes and Floral Specialization (2004, background): “Flies, beetles, and Lepidoptera occasionally visit flowers of many Penstemon species, but evidently the clade entered an adaptive zone with two fairly narrow successful specialties, and it has only rarely left that zone.”
• Explaining Evolutionary Shifts between Bee and Hummingbird Pollination: Convergence, Divergence, and Directionality (2008, background): “Our thinking about shifts between melittophily and ornithophily has been inspired by penstemons (Thomson et al. 2000; Wilson et al. 2006; fig.”
• 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.”
• Progress in understanding pollination systems in New Zealand (2005, background): “At the very least, it forms the basis for testable predictions (Pellmyr 2002) that can be formalised into “systematic rules” (Thomson et al. 2000) and these show strong associations in many cases (e.g., Wilson et al. 2004).”
• Function and Evolution of Aggregated Pollen in Angiosperms (2008, background): “Third, diminishing returns should favor restricted pollen removal by individual pollinators, which probably explains the diverse mechanisms for pollen packaging and dispensing exhibited by angiosperms (Harder and Thomson 1989; Thomson et al. 2000).”
• HERITABILITY OF NECTAR TRAITS: WHY DO WE KNOW SO LITTLE? (2004, background): “Nectar traits that play an important role in current models of trait evolution deserve extra attention (e.g., pollen presentation theory suggests the importance of dynamic adjustment of nectar production rate to maintain a constant standing crop; Thomson et al. 2000, Castellanos et al. 2002).”
• The staminal lever mechanism in Salvia L. (Lamiaceae): a key innovation for adaptive radiation? (2004, background): “Only recently, Thomson et al. (2000) reviewed the pollen presentation theory (PPT) formulated by Percival (1955).”
