Forget-me-not: Complex floral displays, inter-signal interactions, and pollinator cognition (2011, background): “communicative function has shaped multiple floral traits: wind-pollinated flowers, even those derived from animal-pollinated ancestors, generally produce smaller flowers that are usually unscented, unpatterned, and drab in color (Ackerman, 2000; Culley et al., 2002).”
Flies and Flowers II: Floral Attractants and Rewards (2014, background): “The pollen of anemophilous plants tends to be smoother and has less of a pollenkitt (sticky or oily material on the outside of pollen grains) than that of entomophilous plants (Ackerman 2000, Pacini & Hesse 2005), so syrphids may not contribute significantly to pollination.”
Insect pollinators collect pollen from wind‐pollinated plants: implications for pollination ecology and sustainable agriculture (2018, background): “Most windpollinated plants have a very high pollen-to-ovule ratio and limited pollen viability compared to animal-pollinated plants (Ackerman, 2000; Culley et al., 2002) and many wind-pollinated species may be pollen-limited, especially in fragmented habitats (Koenig & Ashley, 2003; Davis et al.,…”
A Phylogenetic Analysis of the Evolution of Wind Pollination in the Angiosperms (2008, background): “Log likelihood ratio tests supported a model of correlated evolution for wind pollination and habitat type, floral sexuality, sexual system, flower size, flower showiness, presence versus absence of nectar, and ovule number.”
The Pollination of Mid Mesozoic Seed Plants and the Early History of Long-proboscid Insects1,2,3 (2010, background): “…as intestinal contents directly links the consumer and consumed (Holloway, 1976; Krassilov & Rasnitsyn, 1983, 1996; Haslett, 1989b; Krassilov et al., 1997b, 2003, 2007; Afonin, 2000) and provides insight into the possible presence of pollination (Jervis et al., 1993; Labandeira, 2005a).”
The Tropical Seagrass Halophila stipulacea: Reviewing What We Know From Its Native and Invasive Habitats, Alongside Identifying Knowledge Gaps (2020, background): “Morphologically, male (staminate) and female (pistillate) flowers are both inconspicuous (Ackerman, 2000).”
