Climate warming affects the phenology, local abundance and large‐scale distribution of
plants and pollinators. Despite this, there is still limited knowledge of how elevated …

▪ Abstract Floral evolution has often been associated with differences in pollination
syndromes. Recently, this conceptual structure has been criticized on the grounds that …

Wild and managed bees are well documented as effective pollinators of global crops of
economic importance. However, the contributions by pollinators other than bees have been …

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 …

Pollinators-insects, birds, bats, and other animals that carry pollen from the male to the
female parts of flowers for plant reproduction-are an essential part of natural and agricultural …

Diptera are important flower visitors and pollinators for many plant species and in a variety of
habitats. Although Diptera are not as well studied as other groups of pollinators, there is a …

Nectar is the most important reward offered by plants to pollinating animals. This book is a
modern and interdisciplinary text on nectar and nectaries, prompted by the expansion of …

Background and aims Colour is one of the main floral traits used by pollinators to locate
flowers. Although pollinators show innate colour preferences, the view that the colour of a …

Certain natural history phenomena may provide a vivid illustration of selection in action and
its adaptive products, and nearly every evolutionary biologist would agree that the …

Most textbook treatments imply, and almost all theoretical analyses assume, that mutualistic
interactions take place between a single pair of interacting partner species. A major goal of …
