The majority of flowering plants relies on animal pollinators for sexual reproduction and
many animal pollinators rely on floral resources. However, interests of plants and pollinators …

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 …

Alterations in water availability and drought events as predicted by climate change
scenarios will increasingly impact natural communities with effects already emerging at …

Introduced species can have cascading effects on ecological communities, but indirect
effects of species introductions are rarely the focus of ecological studies. For example …

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

Premise Many animals provide ecosystem services in the form of pollination including
honeybees, which have become globally dominant floral visitors. A rich literature documents …

Mating success of flowering plants depends strongly on the efficiencies of pollen removal
from flowers and its subsequent dispersal to conspecific stigmas. We characterized the …

The movement of pollen grains from anthers to stigmas, often by insect pollinator vectors, is
essential for plant reproduction. However, pollen is also a unique vehicle for viral spread …

Switches in pollinators have been argued to be key drivers of floral evolution in
angiosperms. However, few studies have tested the relationship between floral shape …
