Aconitum offers bees more nectar to carry its toxic pollen
Male flowers of Aconitum protect their pollen by adding alkaloids. Without pollen as a reward, botanists asked how the flower compensated pollinators.
Accurate position exchange of stamen and stigma resolves the herkogamy dilemma in a protandrous plant, Ajuga decumbens (Labiatae)
Flowers evolve to balance the risks and rewards of self-pollination
The longer a plant waits to self-pollinate, the longer it has to attract pollen from outside. But waiting too long can have consequences.
Herkogamy and dichogamy in style dimorphic flowers of Narcissus broussonetii (Amaryllidaceae)
Outbreeding and inbreeding strategies in plant communities of the Venezuelan Gran Sabana Plateau
RamÃrez and Hokche evaluated the breeding system, sexual system, dichogamy and herkogamy of herbaceous-shrubby communities from the Gran Sabana Plateau, Venezuela
Plant biotic interactions and fitness in habitat edges
Heterodichogamy and thrips-pollination in Platycarya strobilacea
Platycarya strobilacea (Juglandaceae) is heterodichogamous – based on observations of inflorescence architecture, sexual expression and pollination biology.
In the right place at the right time for pollination
Parnassia epunctulata, a herb with generalized pollination, which exhibits sequential stamen movement.
Shifts in mating systems under contrasting environments
Establishment of plant populations in novel environments may generate shifts in floral traits and plant mating systems.
