Periodic prairie burns are a reproductive riot for large plant populations but a reproductive rut for smaller fragmented groups, reveals a new long-term field experiment.
Experiments with the common morning glory reveal drought drives faster evolutionary changes in floral signals and rewards critical for plant-pollinator interactions compared to pollinator declines.
Getting reacquainted with nature could be as easy as a walk in your local park, thanks to a new concept for creating informal botanical gardens throughout cities.
If you want your urban garden to be buzzing with bees, scientists say floral evenness is crucial - mix up your blooms instead of planting just a few dominant species.
Darwin's longstanding puzzle about reef productivity sparked ongoing research that reveals the complex dynamics sustaining coral symbioses and entire reef ecosystems.
A novel approach uniting maths, physics, and biology has uncovered how diverse rim shapes in carnivorous pitcher plants relate to strategies for catching different insect prey.
Scientists find that common floral compounds become more toxic to butterflies at higher temperatures, complicating projections of climate change impacts.
