Given the importance of knowledge of species distribution for conservation and climate
change management, continuous and progressive evaluation of the statistical models …

Although not 'a professed botanist', Charles Darwin made seminal contributions to
understanding of floral and inflorescence function while seeking evidence of adaptation by …

Ecological research and the way that ecologists use statistics continues to change rapidly.
This second edition of the best-selling Design and Analysis of Ecological Experiments leads …

Alterations in water availability and drought events as predicted by climate change
scenarios will increasingly impact natural communities with effects already emerging at …

Abstract Field studies in South Africa showed that floral spur length in the Disa draconis
complex (Orchidaceae) varies enormously between populations in the southern mountains …

Quantitative approaches to evolutionary biology traditionally consider evolutionary change
in isolation from an important pressure in natural selection: the demography of coevolving …

Interspecific mutualisms have been playing a central role in the functioning of all ecosystems
since the early history of life. Yet the theory of coevolution of mutualists is virtually …

1. Pollinators visiting large floral displays may probe several flowers in sequence, leading to
geitonogamous (among-flower) self-pollination. To investigate the relationship between …

Phenotypic selection on flower size in animal‐pollinated plants can only occur when fitness
is limited by pollinator visitation and when there is a relationship between flower size and …

Diverse pollinator assemblages may impose complex selection and thus limit specialisation
to particular pollinators. Previous work has concentrated on how visitation rates of different …
