Understanding how pollen moves between species is critical to understanding speciation,
diversification, and evolution of flowering plants. For co-flowering species that share …

Ecological niches are crucial for species coexistence and diversification, but the niche
concept has been underutilized in studying the roles of pollinators in plant evolution and …

Plant reproduction by means of flowers has long been thought to promote the success and
diversification of angiosperms. It remains unclear, however, how this success has come …

Clarifying the process of formation of diversity hotspots and the biogeographic connection
between regions is critical in understanding the impact of environmental changes on …

Coevolutionary diversification is cited as a major mechanism driving the evolution of
diversity, particularly in plants and insects. However, tests of coevolutionary diversification …

Background and Aims Plant–pollinator interactions are thought to have shaped much of
floral evolution. Yet the relative importance of pollinator shifts and coevolutionary …

Proboscis length has been proposed as a key dimension of plant pollination niches, but this
niche space has not previously been explored at regional and global scales for any …

Existem visitantes florais que coletam recursos em flores sem realizar polinização, e
também há espécies de plantas que atraem polinizadores sem oferecer qualquer recurso. A …

Abstract Background and Aims Morphological matching between flower and pollinator traits
has been documented in diverse plant lineages. Indeed, the matching of corolla tube length …

Although the tremendous variability in floral colour among angiosperms is often attributed to
divergent selection by pollinators, it is usually difficult to preclude the possibility that floral …
