Ever since the first plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) were isolated and identified,
questions about their ecological functions and diversity have been raised. Recent advances …

Background Floral nectar is an important determinant of plant–pollinator interactions and an
integral component of pollination syndromes, suggesting it is under pollinator-mediated …

Pollinator-driven diversification is thought to be a major source of floral variation in plants.
Our knowledge of this process is, however, limited to indirect assessments of evolutionary …

Abstract Hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) are among the most important pollinators, although
they attract less attention than bees. They are usually thought to be rather opportunistic …

Abstract Background and Aims Ornamental flowering plant species are often used in
managed greenspaces to attract and support pollinator populations. In natural systems …

Competition for mate acquisition is the hallmark of any sexual organism. In insect-pollinated
plants, competition to attract pollinators is expected to result in pollinator-mediated selection …

Key message Homoeolog expression bias and the gene dosage effect induce
downregulation of genes on chromosome A7, causing a significant increase in the plant …

Many organisms change their phenotype in response to the environment, a phenomenon
called phenotypic plasticity. Although plasticity can dramatically change the phenotype of an …

Highlights•Plants involve combinations of signal and reward traits to attract
pollinators.•Floral integration allows rapid plant answer to pollinator changes.•Biosynthetic …

Floral scent is considered an important long‐distance signal that attracts pollinators, but also
has been suggested to function at shorter distances such as within‐flower nectar guides or …
