Coevolution is among the most important evolutionary processes that generate biological
diversity. Plant–pollinator interactions play a prominent role in the evolution of reproductive …

Ethnopharmacological relevance The different species of the genus Datura have been used
traditionally by some pre-Columbian civilizations, as well as in medieval rituals linked to …

Worldwide, many crops rely on insect pollination. Insufficient pollination can reduce fruit and
seed set by directly reducing pollen deposition, and can also affect offspring quality, such as …

• Premise of the study: A growing number of studies document effects of inbreeding on plant
interactions with insect herbivores, including deleterious effects on direct and indirect plant …

The cost of inbreeding (inbreeding depression, ID) is an important variable in the
maintenance of reproductive variation. Ecological interactions such as herbivory could …

Because most species are collections of genetically variable populations distributed to
habitats differing in their abiotic/biotic environmental factors and community composition, the …

The ability of plants to respond to natural enemies might depend on the availability of
genetic variation for the optimal phenotypic expression of defence. Selfing can affect the …

It is thought that natural selection exerted by herbivores on plants has promoted the
evolution of plant traits that function as defence. However, such selective pressures may …

Premise Plant maternal effects on offspring phenotypes are well documented. However, little
is known about how herbivory on maternal plants affects offspring fitness. Furthermore, while …

Both inbreeding and herbivory are common in flowering plants, and both are known to
reduce fitness. Although inbreeding might also be expected to impact inducible and …
