Evolution of plant-pollinator relationships / edited by Sébastien Patiny.
"What are the evolutionary mechanisms and ecological implications behind a pollinator choosing its favourite flower? Sixty-five million years of evolution has created the complex and integrated system which we see today and understanding the interactions involved is key to environmental sustainabili...
