Journal ArticleDOI
Generalization versus specialization in plant pollination systems
Steven D. Johnson,Kim E. Steiner +1 more
TL;DR: Current studies are aimed at understanding the ecological forces that have favoured either generalization or specialization in particular lineages and regions, and the risk of collapse in plant-pollinator mutualisms of varying specificity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-tongued fly pollination and evolution of floral spur length in the Disa draconis complex (Orchidaceae)
Steven D. Johnson,Kim E. Steiner +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tested the hypothesis that divergence in spur length has resulted from selection exerted through pollinator proboscis length and found that selection on spur length occurs mainly through the female component of reproductive success.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny and radiation of pollination systems in DISA (Orchidaceae).
TL;DR: The patterns of adaptive radiation in Disa, a large orchid genus in southern Africa, suggest that a few dominant pollinator species in a region may be sufficient to generate diversification in plants through repeated floral shifts that never retrace the same pathways.
Book ChapterDOI
Molecular Phylogenetic and Evolutionary Studies of Parasitic Plants
Daniel L. Nickrent,R. Joel Duff,Alison E. Colwell,Andrea D. Wolfe,Nelson D. Young,Kim E. Steiner,Claude W. dePamphilis +6 more
TL;DR: This work uses the term parasite in a strict sense to refer to haustorial parasites, which represent about 1% of all angiosperms and are restricted to the dicot subclasses Magnoliidae, Rosidae, and Asteridae.
