Within-species variation in traits such as petal size or colour often provides reliable
information to pollinators about the rewards offered to them by flowers. In spite of potential …

Aim Flower traits are critical to the mutualistic networks that underpin ecosystem function.
However, the broad‐scale drivers of flower traits are unclear. Using the megadiverse islands …

Honest signals prevail when those signals manipulate receivers to benefit the senders more
than deceptive signals do. Floral colour change (FCC), reported in hundreds of species, is a …

Stellera chamaejasme L. is one of the dominant poisonous plant species and has caused
considerable damage to the stability of grassland ecosystems and changed the structure …

In many plant species, flower size is correlated with the production of floral rewards such as
nectar and pollen and, therefore, provides information to pollinators about flower quality …

Long‐lived flowers increase pollen transfer rates, but these entail high water and carbon
maintenance costs. The retention of pollinated and reward‐free old flowers enhances …

When the abundance and the composition of pollinators are unpredictable, exploitation of a
diverse assemblage of pollinators is important for plant reproduction. To examine the role of …

Movement in response to mechanical perturbations in plants has long fascinated biologists
and nature lovers. Rapid plant movements are of particular interest because they are highly …
