The long-standing notion that most angiosperm flowers are specialized for pollination by
particular animal types, such as birds or bees, has been challenged recently on the basis of …

Current knowledge of flower visitors and pollination in the Oriental Region is summarised.
Much less is known about pollination than seed dispersal and the coverage of habitats and …

While most efforts at biodiversity conservation have focused primarily on protected areas
and reserves, the unprotected lands surrounding those area—the" matrix"—are equally …

Woody climbers, vines, perennial herbs, trees or shrubs, more rarely annuals, sometimes
with large water-storing tubers or a xylopod, sometimes succulent, with large grappling …

The Fynbos Biome, due to its floristic, evolutionary and ecological peculiarities and
conservation appeal, has experienced decades of intensive and dedicated botanical …

This book takes a uniquely integrated approach to the study of floral biology. Flowers are the
beautiful and complex reproductive structures of the angiosperms, one of the most diverse …

The author offers an overview of pollen biology and biotechnology for students and
researchers in areas such as reproductive biology, biotechnology, aeropalynology, plant …

Aim We review several aspects of the structure of regional and local assemblages of nectar‐
feeding birds and bats and their relationships with food plants to determine the extent to …

Abstract Background and Aims Large clades of angiosperms are often characterized by
diverse interactions with pollinators, but how these pollination systems are structured …

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 …
