Floral chemical defence strategies remain under-investigated, despite the significance of
flowers to plant fitness. We used cyanogenic glycosides (CNglycs)—constitutive secondary …

Premise Flower damage caused by florivores often has negative consequences for plant
reproduction. However, the factors affecting plant–florivore interactions are still poorly …

(1) The focus on floral functional traits and their variability has been significantly lower than
when compared to other plant organs. Here, we focused on the variability of four novel floral …

Abstract Theory predicts that plants invest in defences proportional to the value or amount of
tissue at risk. Domatia-bearing plants house predatory arthropods that defend against insect …

Dalea purpurea, an herbaceous papilionoid legume of the North American Great Plains, has
floral characteristics that are highly atypical within subfamily Papilionoideae, such as organs …

Some types of plant accumulate liquid in their inflorescences creating phytotelmata. These
environments protect the flowers against florivory, although they may be colonized by …
