Fundamental concepts about the diversity and evolution of signals have been developed
mainly in the context of sexual selection. Here, we review the functional ecology of signals in …

Floral bracts (bracteoles, cataphylls) are leaf‐like organs that subtend flowers or
inflorescences but are of non‐floral origin; they occur in a wide diversity of species …

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

Most flower visitors innately prefer a particular color and scent, and use them as cues for
flower recognition and selection. However, in most cases, since color and scent serve as a …

Butterflies and moths are conspicuous flower visitors but their role in plant-pollinator
interactions has rarely been quantified, especially in tropical rainforests. Moreover, we have …

The accurate and consistent identification of fossil pollen is essential to allow robust
inferences to be drawn with regard to past vegetation and climate change. Identifications are …

Specialized bracts are thought to be important for the successful reproduction of some plants
and are regarded as adaptations to diverse driving forces. However, few empirical studies …

Fruit color changes during ripening are typically viewed as an adaptation to increase signal
efficacy to seed dispersers. Plants can increase signal efficacy by enhancing chromatic …

Foraging responses of seven butterfly species were determined for flower models that
differed in color, size, and depth of artificial corolla. We measured frequency of visits to …
