Background Floral nectar is an important determinant of plant–pollinator interactions and an
integral component of pollination syndromes, suggesting it is under pollinator-mediated …

There is increasing evidence that human disturbance can negatively impact plant–pollinator
interactions such as outcross pollination. We present a meta-analysis of 22 studies involving …

Background In angiosperm evolution, autogamously selfing lineages have been derived
from outbreeding ancestors multiple times, and this transition is regarded as one of the most …

Fragmentation—the process by which habitats are transformed into smaller patches isolated
from each other—has been identified as a major threat for biodiversity. Fragmentation has …

Although not 'a professed botanist', Charles Darwin made seminal contributions to
understanding of floral and inflorescence function while seeking evidence of adaptation by …

There is now compelling evidence of a reduction of pollinator richness and density at a
global scale. In this opinion article, we argue that such pollinator decline intensifies pollen …

Communication is an essential factor underpinning the interactions between species and
the structure of their communities. Plant-animal interactions are particularly diverse due to …

Background Most angiosperms present flowers in inflorescences, which play roles in
reproduction, primarily related to pollination, beyond those served by individual flowers …

Although the tremendous variability in floral colour among angiosperms is often attributed to
divergent selection by pollinators, it is usually difficult to preclude the possibility that floral …

Abstract Changes in the pollinator assemblage visiting a plant can have consequences for
reproductive success and floral evolution. We studied a recent plant trans‐continental range …
