Morphological complexity as a floral signal: from perception by insect pollinators to co-evolutionary implications
Morphologically complex flowers are characterized by bilateral symmetry, tube-like shapes,
deep corolla tubes, fused petals, and/or poricidal anthers, all of which constrain the access …

Network analysis of phenological units to detect important species in plant-pollinator assemblages: can it inform conservation strategies?
Conservation of species is often focused either only on those that are endangered, or on
maximising the number recorded on species lists. However, species share space and time …
