▪ Abstract Quantifying the extent to which seed production is limited by the availability of
pollen has been an area of intensive empirical study over the past few decades. Whereas …

Alien plant species can alter pollinator visitation and, in turn, the sexual reproduction of
natives. Using a conventional and a phylogenetically controlled meta‐analytical approach …

Marketers frequently style food to look pretty (eg, in advertising). This article investigates
how pretty aesthetics (defined by classical aesthetic principles, such as order, symmetry …

Floral symmetry plays an important role in plant-pollinator interactions and may have
remarkable impacts on angiosperm diversification. However, spatiotemporal patterns in …

Although Alexander von Humboldt never saw a baobab, he wrote:'Among organic creatures,
this tree [Dracaena draco (dragon tree)] is undoubtedly, together with the Adansonia or …

We review the empirical phylogenetic literature on plant diversification, highlighting
challenges in separating the effects of speciation and extinction, in specifying diversification …

The majority of species of flowering plants rely on pollination by insects, so that their
reproductive success and in part their population structure are determined by insect …

Ecology affects each of the three principal processes leading to speciation: genetic
differentiation among populations within species, acquisition of reproductive isolation …

This article traces research on floral symmetry back to its beginnings. It brings together
recent advances from different fields that converge in floral symmetry and new unpublished …

Despite much recent activity in the field of pollination biology, the extent to which animal
pollinators drive the formation of new angiosperm species remains unresolved. One …
