Plant life-history variation reflects different outcomes of natural selection given the strictures
of resource allocation trade-offs. However, there is limited theory of selection predicting how …

Florivory is an ancient interaction which has rarely been quantified due to a lack of
standardized protocols, thus impairing biogeographical and phylogenetic comparisons. We …

Understanding the causes and limits of population divergence in phenotypic traits is a
fundamental aim of evolutionary biology, with the potential to yield predictions of adaptation …

Globally, plants display enormous variation in life‐history strategies and trait combinations.
However, evidence suggests that evolutionary and physiological constraints limit the …

Major dimensions of plant ecological strategies have been widely studied bringing forward
the concept of 'economic spectra'of plants. Sexual reproductive traits,'floral traits', have been …

Producing and maintaining flowers is essential for reproduction in most angiosperms,
underpinning population persistence and speciation. Although the physiological costs of …

Background The evolutionary success of flowering plants is associated with the vast
diversity of their reproductive structures. Despite recent progress in understanding …

Most orchids have high ornamental value with long-lived flowers. However, the mechanisms
by which orchids maintain floral longevity are poorly understood. Here, we hypothesized that …

Intraspecific plant chemodiversity shapes plant-environment interactions. Within species,
chemotypes can be defined according to variation in dominant specialised metabolites …

Abstract Background and Aims Flower–visitor interactions comprise a continuum of
behaviours, from mutualistic partners to antagonistic visitors. Despite being relatively …
