Ecology of plant speciation (2010, background): “The “mutants” studied by Bradshaw & Schemske (2003) had lower fitness than the parental forms, and could not replace them unless there were a major shift in the abundance of pollinators; I would argue, however, that reduced fitness in this case may simply be a product of the inbreeding used to…”
Explaining Evolutionary Shifts between Bee and Hummingbird Pollination: Convergence, Divergence, and Directionality (2008, background): “We begin by proposing some metaphorical language for discussing the convergence of floral phenotypes toward pollination syndrome attractors.”
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): “…et al., 1998), Dalechampia (Armbruster, 1993; Armbruster and Baldwin, 1998), Penstemon (Castellanos et al., 2003; Wilson et al., 2004), Mimulus (Bradshaw and Schemske, 2003) and Iochroma (Smith et al., 2008; Fenster et al., 2009) support the hypothesis that shifts to new pollinators are…”
Associations between floral specialization and species diversity: cause, effect, or correlation? (2008, background): “Details of possible mechanisms of speciation through pollinator-induced reproductive isolation have been described (Schemske and Bradshaw 1999; Bradshaw and Schemske 2003).”
Mutations perturbing petal cell shape and anthocyanin synthesis influence bumblebee perception of Antirrhinum majus flower colour (2007, background): “It also offers an advantage over the use of near isogenic lines (NILs), as used in Mimulus and Aquilegia.”
Recent advances on the regulation of anthocyanin synthesis in reproductive organs. (2011, background): “Anthocyanins are the major red, purple, violet and blue pigmuch the same way as humans, prefer red flowers [1].”
Aposematic (Warning) Coloration in Plants (2009, neutral): “Floral color change is a well-documented phenomenon in various taxa and life forms on all continents except Antarctica (Weiss 1991, 1995 ; Weiss and Lamont 1997 ; Bradshaw and Schemske 2003) .”
Flavonoids: biosynthesis, biological functions, and biotechnological applications (2012, background): “The different flavonoids have diverse biological functions, including protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation and phytopathogens, signaling during nodulation, male fertility, auxin transport, as well as the coloration of flowers as a visual signal that attracts pollinators (Mol et al., 1998; W”
