A fundamental question in evolutionary biology is how clades of organisms exert influence
on one another. The evolution of the flower and subsequent plant/pollinator coevolution are …

Flowers of Salvia are characterized by a diversity of staminal lever types mediating pollen
transfer. In the East Asian subgenus Glutinaria, species have been categorized based on …

The reproductive strategies of alpine plants are often altered by environmental changes
caused by changes in the spatial distribution of the gradient. However, few studies have …

Abstract Background and Aims Differences among populations in pollinator assemblages
can lead to local adaptation mosaics in which plants evolve different floral morphologies and …

Bilabiate flowers are phenotypically specialized and primarily pollinated by bees. However,
this phenotypic specialization does not necessarily result in functional and/or ecological …

Many plants exhibit floral traits that are directed to specific pollinator groups. Nevertheless,
they can also attract less‐adapted pollinators and gain benefits under certain conditions …

Delayed autonomous selfing (DAS) provides reproductive assurance under conditions of
pollinator and/or pollen-limitation. Few plant species have been investigated to determine if …

Through its role in regulating pollinator behavior, floral display size and nectar gradient
within inflorescences may alter the extent of geitonogamy and thus female reproductive …

Salvia (Lamiaceae) is a sub-cosmopolitan genus of about 1000 species that often employ a
“staminal lever mechanism” that is thought to have spurred species diversification within the …

Salvia constitutes one of the largest genera in the Lamiaceae, with approximately 1,000
species found worldwide, and is recognized for its high ornamental and medicinal value …
