Among dioecious flowering plants, females and males often differ in a range of
morphological, physiological, and life-history traits. This is referred to as sexual dimorphism …

▪ Abstract Quantifying the extent to which seed production is limited by the availability of
pollen has been an area of intensive empirical study over the past few decades. Whereas …

Determining whether seed production is pollen limited has been an area of intensive
empirical study over the last two decades. Yet current evidence does not allow satisfactory …

Although not 'a professed botanist', Charles Darwin made seminal contributions to
understanding of floral and inflorescence function while seeking evidence of adaptation by …

Background Co-flowering plant species frequently share pollinators. Pollinator sharing is
often detrimental to one or more of these species, leading to competition for pollination …

There is now compelling evidence of a reduction of pollinator richness and density at a
global scale. In this opinion article, we argue that such pollinator decline intensifies pollen …

Background Some of the most exciting advances in pollination biology have resulted from
interdisciplinary research combining ecological and evolutionary perspectives. For example …

Our understanding of pollen limitation depends on a realistic view of its magnitude. Previous
reviews of pollen supplementation experiments concluded that a majority of plant species …

The repeated evolutionary transition from outcrossing to self‐pollination in flowering plants
has been suggested to occur because selfing provides reproductive assurance. Reports …
