Of feathers and fur: Differential pollinator roles of birds and small mammals in the grassland succulent Aloe peglerae

2016-12-01

Abstract excerpt

The pollination syndrome of the genus Aloe, with gaudy inflorescences and orange–red flowers, suggests bird pollination. However, the diversity of flowering phenologies and structures suggests that generalizations within the group are currently uninformative because few studies have addressed the role of multiple pollinator guilds, especially mammals. Aloe peglerae, endemic to montane grassland of the Magaliesberg...
