▪ Abstract Published literature on thrips has been dominated by descriptive taxonomy, pest
control work, and generalized synecology. The lack of studies examining the detailed …

Many of the diverse animals that consume floral rewards act as efficient pollinators;
however, others 'steal'rewards without 'paying'for them by pollinating. In contrast to the …

▪ Abstract Examples of androdioecy, the coexistence of males and hermaphrodites, was
unknown when the subject was last reviewed about two decades ago. Since then, several …

The majority of species in the mulberry family (Moraceae) are figs (Ficus), marked by a
specialized inflorescence (syconium) and an obligate mutualism with pollinating fig wasps …

The mulberry family Moraceae comprises 37 genera and approximately 1,100 species
distributed throughout tropical and temperate regions worldwide. Moraceae exhibit a …

In this paper, I review pollination systems in which plants provide breeding sites as a reward
for pollination. I divide the pollinators into three groups based upon ovipositing sites and the …

Moraceae is a large (∼ 1,050 species) primarily tropical family with several economically
and ecologically important species. While its monophyly has been well supported in recent …

The mangrove killifish (Kryptolebias marmoratus) is the only vertebrate known to be capable
of self-fertilization. Its gonad is typically an ovotestis that simultaneously produces eggs and …

This study presents breeding and pollination systems of Aristolochia maxima and A. inflata
in a seasonal tropical forest of Panama. Aristolochia is the most diverse genus of …

The evolution of breeding systems was studied in the genus Acer, with special attention to
the origin of androdioecy and dioecy, using a phylogenetic approach.• Parsimony and …
