The evolution of plant–insect mutualisms

JL Bronstein, R Alarcón, M Geber - New Phytologist, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Mutualisms (cooperative interactions between species) have had a central role in the
generation and maintenance of life on earth. Insects and plants are involved in diverse forms …

Do alien plant invasions really affect pollination success in native plant species?

AL Bjerknes, Ø Totland, SJ Hegland, A Nielsen - Biological conservation, 2007 - Elsevier
A growing number of studies on naturally occurring plant species have shown that plant-
