Mimicry—when one organism (the mimic) evolves a phenotypic resemblance to another (the
model) due to selective benefits—is widely used to illustrate natural selection's power to …

Proper functioning of complex phenotypes requires that multiple traits work together.
Examination of relationships among traits within and between complex characters and how …

The first edition of Geometric Morphometrics for Biologists has been the primary resource for
teaching modern geometric methods of shape analysis to biologists who have a stronger …

Mimicry is a classic example of adaptation through natural selection. The traditional focus of
mimicry research has been on defence in animals, but there is now also a highly-developed …

Existem visitantes florais que coletam recursos em flores sem realizar polinização, e
também há espécies de plantas que atraem polinizadores sem oferecer qualquer recurso. A …

Although the majority of flowering plants achieve pollination by exploiting the food-seeking
behavior of animals, some use alternative ploys that exploit their mate-seeking behavior …

Reproduction in many angiosperms depends on attracting animals that provide pollination
and seed dispersal services. Flowers and fleshy fruits present various features that can …

Background and Aims A test was made of the hypothesis that papilionate legume flowers
filter pollinators according to their ability to exert strength to open flowers to access rewards …

Symmetry is an important feature of floral structure, and floral symmetries are diverse and
often complex. We use a new morphometric approach for analysing shapes with complex …

The great majority of plant species in the tropics require animals to achieve pollination, but
the exact role of floral signals in attraction of animal pollinators is often debated. Many plants …
