Many ecosystem services are delivered by organisms that depend on habitats that are
segregated spatially or temporally from the location where services are provided …

Among dioecious flowering plants, females and males often differ in a range of
morphological, physiological, and life-history traits. This is referred to as sexual dimorphism …

We conducted a comparative analysis to determine life history and ecological correlates of
pollen limitation among 224 species of animal-pollinated flowering plants. To test …

There is increasing evidence that human disturbance can negatively impact plant–pollinator
interactions such as outcross pollination. We present a meta-analysis of 22 studies involving …

Comparisons of the causes and consequences of cross–and self–fertilization have
dominated research on plant mating since Darwin's seminal work on plant reproduction …

Pollination commonly limits seed production, as addition of pollen to stigmas often increases
fecundity. This response is usually interpreted as evidence that plants' stigmas receive too …

Many flowering plants exhibit dual reproductive modes, producing both sexual and asexual
offspring. The commonest form of asexual reproduction is clonal growth, in which vegetative …

We are in the midst of a biological revolution. Molecular tools are now providing new means
of critically testing hypotheses and models of microevolution in populations of wild …

Floral hermaphroditism results in conflicts and compromise in the parental roles of plants
during pollination and mating. A potential cost of hermaphroditism is sexual interference …

S ex in flowering plants is complicated by three distinctive features of their biology. First,
being sessile, plants require vectors to transfer male gametes (pollen) between individuals …
