Pollination ecology examines how pollen is transferred between plants and how floral traits, environmental conditions and pollinator communities shape reproductive success. Insect‐mediated pollination ...
TORONTO, ON (Canada) - New research by scientists at the University of Toronto (U of T) offers novel insights into why and how wind-pollinated plants have evolved from insect-pollinated ancestors.
Plants existed on Earth for hundreds of millions of years before the first flowers bloomed. But when flowering plants did evolve, more than 140 million years ago, they were a huge evolutionary success ...
Plant traits related to attractiveness to pollinators (e.g. flowers and nectar) can be sensitive to abiotic or biotic conditions. Soil nutrient availability, as well as interactions among ...
