Early diversifications of angiosperms and their insect pollinators: were they unlinked?
The present-day ubiquity of angiosperm-insect pollination has led to the hypothesis that
these two groups coevolved early in their evolutionary history. However, recent fossil …

Uncovering the significance of the ratio of food K: Na in bee ecology and evolution
Bees provide important ecological services, and many species are threatened globally, yet
our knowledge of wild bee ecology and evolution is limited. While evolving from carnivorous …

The radiation continuum and the evolution of frog diversity
Most of life's vast diversity of species and phenotypes is often attributed to adaptive
radiation. Yet its contribution to species and phenotypic diversity of a major group has not …
