Major Evolutionary Transitions in Flowering Plant Reproduction
Finally, we found no evidence for correlated evolu- tion between the number of
flowers per inflorescence and wind pollination. Weller et al. (2006) reported that
the num- ber of flowers, per se, in Schiedea was less important for wind
pollination ...
Spencer C. H. Barrett, 2008
In short, conditions are far more appropriate for wind pollination. Although the
sharp ecological contrasts between tropical rain forests and temperate deciduous
forests may not be adequate to explain the differences in dominant pollination ...

Scent production That k iw i fruit flowers have odour, whether minimal to the
human observer or otherwise, must lend strong support for insect pollination and
none for wind pollination, rather than the intermediate values given by Craig ...

The Flowering of Australia's Rainforests: A Plant and ...
There may be a heightened incidence of wind pollination in gap phase
rainforests because the initial open structure favours less impeded pollen transfer
to conspecific plants (see Colour Plates 29 and 31). Backhousia sciadophora
and ...
Geoff Williams, Paul Adam, 2010
Flower anatomy favouring pollination by other agents Wind pollination is the next
most important pollination mechanism after insect pollination (Table 13.3). The
mechanism of wind pollination evolved much earlier than insect pollination, ...

Pollination and Floral Ecology
Culley et al. (2002) reviewed the patterns of evolution of wind pollination in
angiosperms and found anemophily to be associated with small simple flowers
and rather dry pollen, as well as with certain environmental conditions (see table
4.1for ...

History of the Australian Vegetation: Cretaceous to Recent
However, it is possible that wind pollination may have been significant in an early
Tertiary group of proteaceous species that are now extinct. The evidence for this
is circumstantial. About half the proteaceous species that became extinct in ...
