The specialization continuum in pollination systems: diversity of concepts and implications for ecology, evolution and conservation
WS Armbruster - Functional ecology, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Specialization in plant–pollinator relationships is a core concept in discussions of plant
evolution and ecology; it is central to our thinking, not just about the ecology of plant …

Plant–pollinator interactions along the pathway to paternity
Background The male fitness pathway, from pollen production to ovule fertilization, is
thought to strongly influence reproductive trait evolution in animal-pollinated plants. This …

Increasing pollen production at high latitudes across animal‐pollinated flowering plants
Aim Plant reliance on animal mutualists is expected to decrease with latitude owing to
increasing environmental instability. As a consequence, more erratic animal pollination in …
