Acronyms and Definitions
Batesian mimicry: mimic imitates signals of a specific model for its own benefit
Ethological isolation: floral isolation caused by pollinator behavior
Floral constancy: the tendency of pollinators to specialize on flowers of the same type during a given foraging bout
Food deception: pollination syndrome with nonrewarding plants producing signals that are associated with floral reward by pollinators
MADS: MCM1 (yeast MIMICHROMOSOME MAINTENANCE 1), AG (Arabidopsis AGAMOUS), DEF (Antirrhinum DEFICIENS), SRF (human SERUM RESPONSE FACTOR)
Morphological isolation: floral isolation caused by flower structure
Pedicularis type of morphological isolation: different placement of pollen on the body of the pollinator
Pollinator isolation: synonym for floral isolation
Prepollination isolation: reproductive isolation in plants acting before pollen arrives on the stigma
Quantitative trait locus (QTL): genome region showing correlation with a phenotypic trait
Reinforcement: after allopatric divergence, incipient species come into contact and evolve reproductive barriers through selection against hybridization
Scent reward: pollination syndrome involving euglossine bees collecting scent from flowers
Sexual deception: pollination syndrome in which plants mimic mating signals of pollinators, leading to pseudocopulation of pollinators on flowers
Transcription factor: one of a diverse class of proteins involved in the regulation of gene expression
