Data from: Are pollination "syndromes" predictive? Asian dalechampia fit neotropical models

Using pollination-syndrome parameters and pollinator correlations with
floral phenotype from the neotropics, we predicted that Dalechampia
bidentata Blume (Euphorbiaceae) in southern China would be pollinated by
female resin-collecting bees between 12 and 20 mm in length. Observations
in southwestern Yunnan Province, China, revealed pollination by
resin-collecting, female Megachile (Callomegachile) nr. faceta Bingham
(Hymenoptera: Megachilidae). These bees, at 14 mm in length, were in the
predicted size range, confirming the utility of syndromes and models
developed in distant regions. Phenotypic-selection analyses and estimation
of adaptive surfaces and adaptive accuracies together suggest that the
blossoms of D. bidentata are well adapted to pollination by their most
common floral visitors.
