Climate change is altering the phenology of species across the world, but what are the
consequences of these phenological changes for the demography and population dynamics …

▪ Abstract Mixed mating, in which hermaphrodite plant species reproduce by both self-and
cross-fertilization, presents a challenging problem for evolutionary biologists. Theory …

Background Some of the most exciting advances in pollination biology have resulted from
interdisciplinary research combining ecological and evolutionary perspectives. For example …

Background The field of plant mating-system evolution has long been interested in
understanding why selfing evolves from outcrossing. Many possible mechanisms drive this …

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 …

1. Pollinators visiting large floral displays may probe several flowers in sequence, leading to
geitonogamous (among-flower) self-pollination. To investigate the relationship between …

Background The male fitness pathway, from pollen production to ovule fertilization, is
thought to strongly influence reproductive trait evolution in animal-pollinated plants. This …

Sympatric plant species with similar flowering phenologies and floral morphologies may
compete for pollination, and as a consequence potentially influence each other's …

Mating by outcrossing plants depends on the frequency and quality of the interaction
between pollen vectors and individual flowers. However, the historical focus of pollination …

Background Most angiosperms present flowers in inflorescences, which play roles in
reproduction, primarily related to pollination, beyond those served by individual flowers …
