An Evolutionary Basis for Pollination Ecology
It means that the basis from which both cantharophily and myiophily developed,
must have been a stage of beetle- and fly-pollination, perhaps also trap flowers,
but with somewhat less strongly compressed petals (beetles being stronger ...

Dr. Pál Benedek, K. W. Richards, International Commission of Plant Bee Relationships, 2001
Traditionally, the characteristics of fly-pollinated flowers are described as one,
sometimes two myiophilous pollination syndromes: simple myiophily (myia, fly;
philos, loving) and sap- romyiophily (sapros, rotten). Due to the diversity of the ...

The Evolutionary Biology of Flies
Historically the associations between flies and the flowers they pollinate have
been characterized variously as “the fly pollination syndrome,” “myiophily,” “
sapromyiophily,” or similar attributions (Armstrong 1979; Faegri and van der Pijl
1980; ...

Pollination Biology: Biodiversity Conservation and ...
Pollination by insects (entomophily),and particularly Diptera (myiophily),can be
considered to be basic to angiosperm Evolution (Labandeira 1998; Grimaldi
1999). The long-horned flies (suborder Nematocera) mostly have short suctorial
and ...

Aspects of reproductive biology
Any advantage in natural selection would have favoured and perfected the co-
evolutionary development of melittophily and/or myiophily rather than beetle-
pollination. All deductions starting from the primacy of cantharophily are,
therofore, ...
