Pollination syndromes, recurring suites of floral traits appearing in connection with specific
functional pollinator groups, have served for decades to organise floral diversity under a …

Ecological niches are crucial for species coexistence and diversification, but the niche
concept has been underutilized in studying the roles of pollinators in plant evolution and …

Ecosystems are at increasing risk from the global pollination crisis. Gaining better
knowledge about pollinators and their interactions with plants is an urgent need. However …

The pollination syndrome concept has provided powerful utility in understanding the
evolution and adaptation of floral traits. However, the utility of this conception has been …

Angelica biserrata is an important medicinal plant in Chinese traditional medicine. Its roots,
which are known as Duhuo in Chinese, are broadly applied to treat inflammation, arthritis …

Nectar is one of the most important flower traits, shaping plant–pollinator interactions and
reproductive success. Despite Orchidaceae including numerous nectariferous species …

Explanations of floral adaptation to diverse pollinator faunas have often invoked visitor‐
mediated trade‐offs in which no intermediate, generalized floral phenotype is optimal for …

Successful pollination in animal‐pollinated plants depends on the temporal overlap
between flower presentation and pollinator foraging activity. Variation in the temporal …

Plant‐pollinator interactions exist along a continuum from complete specialisation to highly
generalised, that may vary in time and space. A long‐held assumption is that large bees are …

Divergent patterns of phenotypic selection on floral traits can arise in response to
interactions with functionally distinct pollinators. However, there are a limited number of …
