In nature, fruit and seed production in many plants have been shown to be pollen limited.
Pollen limitation is demonstrated when open-pollinated plants that are hand-supplemented …

Objectives We investigated (1) how the resource exploitation patterns of two trophic
interactions (plant–insect) are explained by insect behaviour, resource aggregation, and …

Dry forests face significant threats due to human activities, including habitat fragmentation,
leading to edge effects that alter microclimatic conditions and species composition. This …

Know the breeding system of endemic plants is important to design conservation strategies.
Translocations are actions to improve the survival prospects of the species, but nowadays …

Assisted gene flow (AGF) can restore fitness in small plant populations. Due to climate
change, current fitness patterns could vary in the future ecological scenario, as highly …

Carabidae, or carabids, commonly known as “ground beetles”, are found in numerous
natural and cultivated habitats and are recognized for their beneficial role in controlling …

The deceptive breeding system in the Orchidaceae family has been studied for decades to
disentangle how pollination service can occur. Moreover, the interference of introduced …

Leucojum aestivum L. is a wetland-dependent perennial geophyte occurring in Europe and
western Asia. It is self-incompatible, with high level of fruit-set and seed-set. Yet, its …

Researchers have long assumed that plant spatial location influences plant reproductive
success and pollinator foraging behaviour. For example, many flowering plant populations …

The aim of this study was to assess the genetic variation and population structure of the
geophyte Leucojum aestivum L. across the Po river valley (N-Italy), to inform conservation …
