Floral and reproductive biology of Drosophyllum lusitanicum (L.) Link (Droseraceae)
TLDR
The floral and reproductive biology of Drosophyllym lusitanicum (Droseraceae), a species endemic to the western Iberian Peninsula and northwest Morocco, was studied, with pollen germination and stigma receptivity occurring even in preanthesis.About:

Book ChapterDOI
A systematic survey of floral nectaries
TL;DR: The construction of classifications, as well as the understanding of biological diversity, depends upon a careful comparison of attributes of the organisms studied, and the extent to which particular characters are constant or labile will determine their usefulness to systematics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reproductive assurance and the evolution of pollination specialization
TL;DR: It is concluded that pollination specialization can evolve independently of the ability to autonomously self‐pollinate and that the presence of floral traits that promote pollination specialize and autonomous selfing in the same flower is not paradoxical.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selfing facilitates reproductive isolation among three sympatric species of Pitcairnia (Bromeliaceae)
TL;DR: The absence of temporal isolation, geographic isolation and isolation via post-pollination reproduction suggests that evolution toward selfing was important to avoid hybridization between these sympatric species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional differences in land use affect population performance of the threatened insectivorous plant Drosophyllum lusitanicum (Droseraceae)
TL;DR: The historical distribution range of Drosophyllum within its peculiar habitat has been relatively stable, but recent regional differences in human land use have resulted in present-day differences in population performance, as well as in types and degrees of threat across the three countries involved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pollinator-prey conflict in carnivorous plants
TL;DR: The conditions under which a pollinator‐prey conflict may occur are analyzed, the evidence for the existence of PPCs in carnivorous plants is reviewed, and the mechanisms that may be in place to prevent or alleviate a PPC are explored.

The Principles of Pollination Ecology
Knut Faegri,L. van der Pijl +1 more
TL;DR: The principles of pollination ecology are studied in the context of beekeeping and their role in the evolution of honey bees.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inbreeding depression and its evolutionary consequences
TL;DR: The evidence that the evolution of breeding systems of animals and plants has been significantly influenced by the occurrence of inbreeding depression is reviewed, and the contemporary genetic theory of inmarriage depression and heterosis and the experimental data concerning the strength of in breeding depression are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flower and Fruit Abortion: Proximate Causes and Ultimate Functions
TL;DR: The growing realization that the number of flowers and fruits and the way they are clustered in time and space influence pollinator attraction is leading to efforts to study the role of demographic studies in this process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pollen-ovule ratios: a conservative indicator of breeding systems in flowering plants
TL;DR: The overall objective is to show that PIO's reflect the likelihood of sufficient pollen grains reaching each stigma to result in maximum seed set and suggest that PI O's are integrated with other facets of a plant's breeding system.
