Current knowledge of flower visitors and pollination in the Oriental Region is summarised.
Much less is known about pollination than seed dispersal and the coverage of habitats and …

The Ecology of Sumatra distills for the first time the information found in nearly 1,500
scholarly works relevant to an understanding of the full range of natural and man-made …

Pollination biology of 41 plants species of 21 families blooming in the forest understory was
investigated in a lowland mixed diplerocarp forest in Lambir Hills National Park, Sarawak …

Selection on flowers has often been viewed as being particularly strict, constant, and
responsible for species differences. Impatiens pallida and I. capensis flowers fit snugly …

Two alien Impatiens species are spreading in Europe and share habitats with the native
Impatiens noli-tangere. We studied their reproductive biology to estimate which traits …

Aquilaria spp.(Thymelaeaceae) are the principal source of Gaharu, a valuable resin, yet
information about their reproductive ecology is almost entirely lacking. Individuals of six …

Background and Aims China is one of the centres of geographical distribution of Impatiens
L. Studies of the pollination ecology of this genus in China have, until now, been unreported …

Pollination syndromes and their predictive power regarding actual plant-animal interactions
have been controversially discussed in the past. We investigate pollination syndromes in …

Abstract Background and Aims Floral diversity as a result of plant–pollinator interactions can
evolve by two distinct processes: shifts between pollination systems or divergent use of the …

Floral variation among closely related species is thought to often reflect differences in
pollination systems. Flowers of the large genus Impatiens are characterized by extensive …
