Pollination Syndromes Require Learning by the Pollinators

Question

Pollination syndromes require learning by the pollinators.

Accepted Answer

Pollination syndromes are sets of traits that plants have evolved to attract specific pollinators. These traits include the shape, color, and scent of the flowers, as well as the amount and type of nectar they produce. Pollinators learn to associate these traits with the presence of food, and they will visit flowers that have these traits more often.
