How specialised is bird pollination in the Cactaceae?

Plant biology (Stuttgart, Germany) - 1 Jan 2016

Gorostiague P, Ortega-Baes P

Abstract excerpt

Many cactus species produce 'bird' flowers; however, the reproductive biology of the majority of these species has not been studied. Here, we report on a study of the pollination of two species from the Cleistocactus genus, cited as an ornithophilous genus, in the context of the different ways in which they are specialised to bird pollination. In addition, we re-evaluate the level of specialisation of previous...
