Pollination syndromes, recurring suites of floral traits appearing in connection with specific
functional pollinator groups, have served for decades to organise floral diversity under a …

Domesticated food crops are derived from a phylogenetically diverse assemblage of wild
ancestors through artificial selection for different traits. Our understanding of domestication …

Orchidaceae show remarkable diversity in pollination strategies, but how these strategies
vary globally is not entirely clear. To identify regions and taxa that are data-rich and lend …

Most contemporary angiosperms (flowering plants) are insect pollinated, but pollination by
wind, water or vertebrates occurs in many lineages. Though evidence suggests insect …

The idea of pollination syndromes has been largely discussed but no formal quantitative
evaluation has yet been conducted across angiosperms. We present the first systematic …

A unique and personal insight into the ecology and evolution of pollinators, their
relationships with flowers, and their conservation in a rapidly changing world. The …

The relative importance of specialized and generalized plant‐pollinator relationships is
contentious, yet analyses usually avoid direct measures of pollinator quality (effectiveness) …

Ecologists have long suspected that species are more likely to interact if their traits match in
a particular way. For example, a pollination interaction may be more likely if the proportions …

Background Most tropical and subtropical plants are biotically pollinated, and insects are the
major pollinators. A small but ecologically and economically important group of plants …
