Novel consequences of bird pollination for plant mating
Pollinator behaviour has profound effects on plant mating. Pollinators are predicted to
minimise energetic costs during foraging bouts by moving between nearby flowers …

A novel approach to an old problem: tracking dispersed seeds
Animals are the principal vectors of dispersal for a large number of plant species.
Unfortunately it is not easy to discern their movement patterns or the fate of their dispersed …
