Flowers Anticipate Revisits of Pollinators via Memory Based System

April 25, 2019Resourcesandrej

Stamen presentation in Nasa poissoniana (Loasaceae) flowers is based on previously experienced pollinator visitation intervals. Using the unique ability of fast and precise stamen movements in response to a previous experiences with pollinators.
