▪ Abstract Quantifying the extent to which seed production is limited by the availability of
pollen has been an area of intensive empirical study over the past few decades. Whereas …

Plants are attacked by many different consumers. A critical question is how often, and under
what conditions, common reductions in growth, fecundity or even survival that occur due to …

Determining whether seed production is pollen limited has been an area of intensive
empirical study over the last two decades. Yet current evidence does not allow satisfactory …

▪ Abstract Ecologists and evolutionary biologists are broadly interested in how the
interactions among organisms influence their abundance, distribution, phenotypes, and …

Plants interact with many visitors who consume a variety of plant tissues. While the
consequences of herbivory to leaves and shoots are well known, the implications of florivory …

The enemy release hypothesis (ERH) is the best‐known hypothesis explaining high
performance (eg rapid population growth) of exotic species. However, the current framing of …

Plants engage in multiple, simultaneous interactions with other species; some (enemies)
reduce and others (mutualists) enhance plant performance. Moreover, effects of different …

As a result of human activities, an ever-increasing portion of Earth's natural landscapes now
lie adjacent to agricultural lands. This border between wild and agricultural communities …

Masting, the highly variable and synchronous production of seeds across a population of
perennial plants, is an ecologically important, but still poorly understood, phenomenon …

Flower colour polymorphism is traditionally attributed to pollinator selection although other
factors, such as indirect selection on correlated traits, can play an important role. L …
