Widespread vulnerability of flowering plant seed production to pollinator declines
Despite evidence of pollinator declines from many regions across the globe, the threat this
poses to plant populations is not clear because plants can often produce seeds without …

The scope for postmating sexual selection in plants
Sexual selection is known to shape plant traits that affect access to mates during the
pollination phase, but it is less well understood to what extent it affects traits relevant to …

[HTML][HTML] Land use and pollinator dependency drives global patterns of pollen limitation in the Anthropocene
Land use change, by disrupting the co-evolved interactions between plants and their
pollinators, could be causing plant reproduction to be limited by pollen supply. Using a …
