Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted by plants as a consequence of their
interaction with biotic and abiotic factors, and have a very important role in plant evolution …

Mixed-ploidy species harbor a unique form of genomic and phenotypic variation that
influences ecological interactions, facilitates genetic divergence, and offers insights into the …

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 …

Polyploidy, the multiplication of chromosome sets above the diploid state, is arguably as
prevalent in plants as any other eukaryotic group. Over the past century, polyploidy has …

Polyploidy is a common mode of speciation that can have far‐reaching consequences for
plant ecology and evolution. Because polyploidy can induce an array of phenotypic …

Contents Summary 57 I. Introduction 57 II. Impact of WGD on community context of
polyploids: from the ground up 59 III. Predicted mechanisms by which WGD could affect …

Polyploidy is widely recognized as a major mechanism of sympatric speciation in plants, yet
little is known about its effects on interactions with other organisms. Mycorrhizal fungi are …

Floral diversification and specialization are thought to be driven largely by interactions with
pollinators, but the extent to which current selection on floral traits is mediated by pollinators …

Events of both hybridization and polyploidy are capable of completely restructuring the
genome, modifying phenotypic traits and affecting ecological interactions. For plants, these …

Covering: up to September 2022 Orchids are renowned not only for their diversity of floral
forms, but also for their many and often highly specialised pollination strategies. Volatile …
