Flower orientation enhances pollen transfer in bilaterally symmetrical flowers

A Ushimaru, I Dohzono, Y Takami, F Hyodo - Oecologia, 2009 - Springer
Zygomorphic flowers are usually more complex than actinomorphic flowers and are more
likely to be visited by specialized pollinators. Complex zygomorphic flowers tend to be …

Why do bilaterally symmetrical flowers orient vertically? Flower orientation influences pollinator landing behaviour

A Ushimaru, F Hyodo - Evolutionary Ecology Research, 2005 - evolutionary-ecology.com
Flower orientation is an important character influencing plant fitness. Zygomorphic flowers
are known to orient vertically. We conducted field experiments in which we changed the …

Relaxed pollinator‐mediated selection weakens floral integration in self‐compatible taxa of Leavenworthia (Brassicaceae)

IA Anderson, JW Busch - American Journal of Botany, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Natural selection should favor the integration of floral traits that enhance pollen export and
import in plant populations that rely upon pollinators. If this is true, then phenotypic …
