The evolution of" niche breadth," or" niche width," was a more popular topic in the
evolutionary ecological literature of the 1960s and 1970s than it has been recently (109 …

Planting flowers along crop field edges is an increasingly common management strategy for
addressing pollinator declines and improving crop pollination. However, few reviews have …

Patterns of connectance and strength of mutual dependence in mutualisms have been
examined by comparing the fraction of possible pairwise interactions established in a series …

Pollen ranges from 2.5% to 61% protein content. Most pollen proteins are likely to be
enzymes that function during pollen tube growth and subsequent fertilization, but the vast …

Growing concern about the influence of climate change on flowering plants, pollinators, and
