From pollen dispersal to plant diversification: genetic consequences of pollination mode
CA Wessinger - New Phytologist, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Pollinators influence patterns of plant speciation, and one intuitive hypothesis is that
pollinators affect rates of plant diversification through their effects on pollen dispersal. By …
