As global surface temperatures rise, global precipitation rates are predicted to increase.
These localised increases in rainfall patterns may significantly affect plant–pollinator …

Animals travelling through the world receive input from multiple sensory modalities that
could be important for the guidance of their journeys. Given the availability of a rich array of …

Background Obtaining an optimal flower temperature can be crucial for plant reproduction
because temperature mediates flower growth and development, pollen and ovule viability …

Existing assessments of the ecosystem service of pollination have been largely restricted to
diurnal insects, with a particular focus on generalist foragers such as wild and honey bees …

Effective insect pollination requires appropriate responses to internal and external
environmental cues in both the plant and the pollinator. Helianthus annuus, a highly …

Studies of pollination biology often focus on visual and olfactory aspects of attraction, with
few studies addressing behavioral responses and morphological adaptation to primary …

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 …

Colourful spots, stripes and rings decorate the corolla of most flowering plants and fulfil
important biotic and abiotic functions. Spatial differences in the pigmentation of epidermal …
