Herbivory impacts plants in a variety of ways, including in how likely they are to be reproductively successful. However, the exact effects of herbivory on plant reproduction are variable and dependent on combinations...
Fragmentation of natural habitats generally has negative effects on the reproductive success of many plant species; however, little is known about epiphytic plants. Epiphytes are non-parasitic plants that grow on other...
Triaperturate pollen is the most conspicuous synapomorphy of the highly successful eudicot clade. It was previously suggested that this pollen morphology represents the major evolutionary adaptation, and that the stasis...
Nectar robbing commonly has negative consequences for the reproductive success of plants. Because total plant fitness is the result of both female and male functions, Rojas-Nossa et al. studied the effect of nectar...
Studies that have evaluated the effects of heterospecific pollen (HP) receipt on plant reproductive success have generally overlooked the variability of the natural abiotic environment in which plants grow. Variability...
Under drought stress, cross-pollination early in floral lifespan of Collinsia reduces floral longevity, but excess soil moisture does not extend longevity.
Spatial spread of genetically identical plants may decrease paternal diversity and fertility, particularly towards the centre of large clumps of clones.
The presence of co-flowering species can alter pollinator foraging behaviour and positively or negatively affect reproductive success of individual species. Liao et al. investigate interactions between Pedicularis...
