Proboscis length has been proposed as a key dimension of plant pollination niches, but this
niche space has not previously been explored at regional and global scales for any …

Events of both hybridization and polyploidy are capable of completely restructuring the
genome, modifying phenotypic traits and affecting ecological interactions. For plants, these …

Virtually all empirical ecological interaction networks to some extent suffer from
undersampling. However, how limitations imposed by sampling incompleteness affect our …

A major challenge in evolutionary ecology is to understand how co‐evolutionary processes
shape patterns of interactions between species at community level. Pollination of flowers …

Nectar is one of the most important flower traits, shaping plant–pollinator interactions and
reproductive success. Despite Orchidaceae including numerous nectariferous species …

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) mediate both mutualistic and antagonistic plant–animal
interactions; thus, the attraction of mutualists and antagonists by floral VOCs constitutes an …

Abstract Background and Aims The temporal dimensions of floral adaptation to pollinators
are not yet well understood, partly because we lack accurate information on the diel rhythms …

Mixed pollination system with both diurnal and nocturnal visitors contributing to pollen
transfer and seed set have been documented in many angiosperm species. The flowers of …

Background and aims Few studies have evaluated the genetic structure and evolutionary
history of wild varieties of important crop species. The wild papaya (Carica papaya) is a key …

Cereus jamacaru is a cactus distributed in Northeastern Brazil, with high symbolic value to
this region. However, the interaction, behavior and the role of pollinators remains poorly …
