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 …

Understanding how pollen moves between species is critical to understanding speciation,
diversification, and evolution of flowering plants. For co-flowering species that share …

Mechanisms that favour rare species are key to the maintenance of diverse communities,–.
One of the most critical tasks for conservation of flowering plant biodiversity is to understand …

Globally, plants display enormous variation in life‐history strategies and trait combinations.
However, evidence suggests that evolutionary and physiological constraints limit the …

Pollen-pistil interactions serve as important prezygotic reproductive barriers that play a
critical role in mate selection in plants. Here, we highlight recent progress toward …

Pollination is a major ecosystem service in which insects, particularly bees, play an
important role for the reproduction of most angiosperms. Currently, this service is considered …

The disruption of mutualisms by invasive species has consequences for biodiversity loss
and ecosystem function. Although invasive plant effects on the pollination of individual …

Using our accumulated datasets from Kenyan savanna, Mediterranean garigue, UK gardens
and heathland, involving 76 plants from 30 families, we present detailed data to quantify the …

Pre-zygotic interspecies incompatibility in angiosperms is an important mechanism to
prevent unfavourable hybrids between species. Here we report our identification of …

Angiosperm flowers have evolved a dazzling palette of colours and a rich bouquet of scents,
principally serving to attract pollinators. Despite recent progress in the ecology of pollination …
