Evolutionary plant–pollinator responses to anthropogenic land‐use change: impacts on ecosystem services
Agricultural intensification at field and landscape scales, including increased use of
agrochemicals and loss of semi‐natural habitats, is a major driver of insect declines and …

Foraging efficiency and size matching in a plant–pollinator community: the importance of sugar content and tongue length
SGT Klumpers, M Stang, PGL Klinkhamer - Ecology letters, 2019 - Wiley Online Library

The evolution of flower–pollinator trait matching, and why do some alpine gingers appear to be mismatched?
Abstract Background and Aims Morphological matching between flower and pollinator traits
has been documented in diverse plant lineages. Indeed, the matching of corolla tube length …

[HTML][HTML] Pollination in a new climate: assessing the potential influence of flower temperature variation on insect pollinator behaviour
Climate change has the potential to enhance or disrupt biological systems, but currently,
little is known about how organism plasticity may facilitate adaptation to localised climate …

The context dependence of pollinator-mediated selection in natural populations
N Sletvold - International Journal of Plant Sciences, 2019 - journals.uchicago.edu
Pollinator-mediated selection to a large extent shapes angiosperm floral diversity, but clearly
not in isolation. To understand how selection by pollinators interacts with other selective …
