Orchid conservation: from theory to practice

RD Phillips, N Reiter, R Peakall - Annals of Botany, 2020 - academic.oup.com
Background Given the exceptional diversity of orchids (26 000+ species), improving
strategies for the conservation of orchids will benefit a vast number of taxa. Furthermore, with …

The evolution, ecology, and conservation of hummingbirds and their interactions with flowering plants

KG Leimberger, B Dalsgaard, JA Tobias… - Biological …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library

[HTML][HTML] Major flower pigments originate different colour signals to pollinators

E Narbona, JC del Valle, M Arista, ML Buide… - Frontiers in ecology …, 2021 - frontiersin.org

Diversity and composition of pollen loads carried by pollinators are primarily driven by insect traits, not floral community characteristics

N Cullen, J Xia, N Wei, R Kaczorowski, G Arceo-Gómez… - Oecologia, 2021 - Springer
Flowering plants require conspecific pollen to reproduce but they often also receive
heterospecific pollen, suggesting that pollinators carry mixed pollen loads. However, little is …

Bats and hawkmoths form mixed modules with flowering plants in a nocturnal interaction network
