Pollinators are important drivers of angiosperm diversification at both micro-and
macroevolutionary scales. Both hummingbirds and bats pollinate the species-rich and
morphologically diverse genus Vriesea across its distribution in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest.
Here, we (i) determine if floral traits predict functional groups of pollinators as documented,
confirming the pollination syndromes in Vriesea and (ii) test if genetic structure in Vriesea is
driven by geography (latitudinal and altitudinal heterogeneity) or ecology (pollination …
