Microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) contamination is an emerging environmental and
public health concern, and these particles have been reported both in aquatic and terrestrial …

Bees and angiosperms have shared a long and intertwined evolutionary history and their
interactions have resulted in remarkable adaptations. Yet, at a time when the “pollination …

This chapter provides a general survey of the literature of floral fragrance chemistry in
relation to pollinator type and presents a tentative effort to uncover possible associations …

This book takes a uniquely integrated approach to the study of floral biology. Flowers are the
beautiful and complex reproductive structures of the angiosperms, one of the most diverse …

Many of the diverse animals that consume floral rewards act as efficient pollinators;
however, others 'steal'rewards without 'paying'for them by pollinating. In contrast to the …

Fragrance is a putatively important character in the evolution of flowering plants, but natural
selection on scent is rarely studied and thus poorly understood. We characterized floral …

Flowers recruit floral visitors for pollination services by emitting fragrances. These scent
signals can be intercepted by antagonists such as florivores to locate host plants. Hence, as …

Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the stamens to the stigma, an essential
requirement of sexual reproduction in flowering plants. Cross-pollination increases genetic …

Flowers are complex structures, synchronously displaying both olfactory and visual
signals/cues in the context of a particular floral morphology, that also vary in resource …

Spatiotemporal variability in floral resources can have ecological and evolutionary
consequences for both plants and the pollinators on which they depend. Seldom, however …
