Abstract
Do anther arrangements in buzz-pollinated species have a functional significance? In this article, Vallejo-Marin et al. investigated this question by comparing pollen release rates in anther cones and free anther conformations in three species of the genus Solanum. The authors found that vibration transmission among anthers is greater for anther cones than among freely held conformations, resulting in higher rates of pollen release.
