Most flowering plants are hermaphroditic, yet the proportion of seeds fertilized by self and
outcross pollen varies widely among species, ranging from predominant self-fertilization to …

There is now compelling evidence of a reduction of pollinator richness and density at a
global scale. In this opinion article, we argue that such pollinator decline intensifies pollen …

Ecologists are increasingly applying model selection to their data analyses, primarily to
compare regression models. Model selection can also be used to compare mechanistic …

1. Pollinator visitation patterns in relation to variation in floral display size may be modified
both quantitatively and qualitatively by local plant density. In this study four measures of …

Anthropogenic perturbations including habitat loss and emerging disease are changing
pollinator communities and generating novel selection pressures on plant populations …

Background The male fitness pathway, from pollen production to ovule fertilization, is
thought to strongly influence reproductive trait evolution in animal-pollinated plants. This …

Nonrewarding animal‐pollinated plants commonly experience severe pollen limitation,
which should result in strong selection on traits affecting the success of pollination. However …

Sympatric plant species with similar flowering phenologies and floral morphologies may
compete for pollination, and as a consequence potentially influence each other's …

Reduced water availability can cause physiological stress in plants that affects floral
development leading to changes in floral morphology and traits that mediate interactions …

Mutualisms are well known to influence individual fitness and the population dynamics of
partner species, but little is known about whether they influence species distributions and …
