DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2020.0371
Abstract: Cyclical fluctuations in reproductive output are widespread among perennial plants, from multi-year masting cycles in forest trees to alternate bearing in horticultural crops. In natural systems, ecological drivers such as climate and pollen limitation can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1009706
Abstract: Bat-pollinated flowers have to attract their pollinators in absence of light and therefore some species developed specialized echoic floral parts. These parts are usually concave shaped and act like acoustic retroreflectors making the flowers acoustically… read more here.

Abstract: Selection together with variation in floral traits can act to mold floral form, often driven by a plant’s predominant or most effective pollinators. To investigate the evolution of traits associated with pollination, we developed a… read more here.
