Ecological function of the ‘elephant trunk’ upper corolla in Pedicularis species AbstractBackground and Aims. The evolution of intricate floral structures is often a direct consequence of pollinator-mediated selection. In buzz-pollinate

🌼The “elephant trunk” of Pedicularis is not just decorative. It’s a pollen-dispensing mechanism shaped by pollinator-mediated selection. (9/9)

Honeybees collect pollen from the buzz-pollinated flowers of invasive Solanum elaeagnifolium in Northern Greece Around 6% of flowering plants, including most solanaceous species, have flowers specialized for buzz-pollination (sonication). The poricidal anthers of these flowers release pollen in response to freq...

This likely reflects pollen scarcity in the dry Mediterranean summer, and may reshape invasion dynamics.
