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 sustainability. Examining pollination relationships from an evolutionary perspective, this book covers both botanical and zoological aspects. It addresses the puzzling question of co-speciation and co-evolution and the complexity of the relationships between plant and pollinator, the development of which is examined through the fossil record. Additional chapters are dedicated to the evolution of floral displays and signalling, as well as their role in pollination syndromes and the building of pollination networks. Wide-ranging in its coverage, it outlines current knowledge and complex emerging topics, demonstrating how advances in research methods are applied to pollination biology.

A unique and personal insight into the ecology and evolution of pollinators, their relationships with flowers, and their conservation in a rapidly changing world. The pollination of flowers by insects, birds and other animals is a fundamentally important ecological function that supports both the natural world and human society. Without pollinators to facilitate the sexual reproduction of plants, the world would be a biologically poorer place in which to live, there would be an impact on food security, and human health would suffer. Written by one of the world’s leading pollination ecologists, this book provides an introduction to what pollinators are, how their interactions with flowers have evolved, and the fundamental ecology of these relationships. It explores the pollination of wild and agricultural plants in a variety of habitats and contexts, including urban, rural and agricultural environments. The author also provides practical advice on how individuals and organisations can study, and support, pollinators. As well as covering the natural history of pollinators and flowers, the author discusses their cultural importance, and the ways in which pollinator conservation has been portrayed from a political perspective. The book draws on field work experiences in South America, Africa, Australia, the Canary Islands and the UK. For over 30 years the author has spent his career researching how plants and pollinators evolve relationships, how these interactions function ecologically, their importance for society, and how we can conserve them in a rapidly changing world. This book offers a unique and personal insight into the science of pollinators and pollination, aimed at anyone who is interested in understanding these fascinating and crucial ecological interactions.

Les interaccions planta-pol·linitzador són un component essencial de la biodiversitat i la funció ecològica dels ecosistemes terrestres. Un dels principals objectius de l'ecologia de la pol·linització és descriure aquestes interaccions i comprendre els factors subjacents a la seva estructura. En aquesta tesi doctoral es presenten els resultats dels estudis duts a terme durant tres anys en una comunitat mediterrània de plantes i els seus insectes pol·linitzadors al parc natural del Garraf (NE Espanya). En el capítol 1 es van registrar les interaccions planta-pol·linitzador i es van mesurar diferents trets morfològics, fenològics i ecològics de les especies de plantes i pol·linitzadors en un intent d'establir quins d'aquest trets estructuren les relacions planta-pol·linitzador. Es van registrar 14.713 contactes entre les principals 23 espècies de plantes i 221 espècies de pol·linitzadors, que van representar 960 interaccions específiques. Trobem que un tret ecològic (densitat de flors) i un tret fenològic (temps de floració) de les plantes van ser els principals factors que expliquen les interaccions observades. Trets florals, com la restricció de la corol·la i el pol·len i la producció de nèctar per flor, van tenir un efecte menor. En el capítol 2 s'explora el paper d'un atribut floral diferent i complex, l'aroma floral, en l'estructuració de la variació temporal de les taxes de visites de pol·linitzadors en la mateixa comunitat. Trobem que les plantes que floreixen a principis de la temporada, en un moment en què les flors són més abundants però els pol·linitzadors són escassos, produeixen major quantitats de compostos volàtils que les plantes que floreixen més tard, quan els pol·linitzadors són molt més abundants en relació a les poques flors disponibles. Aquest és el primer estudi en el qual s'analitzen els patrons d'emissió de fragàncies florals a nivell comunitari. Finalment, al capítol 3 s'exploren amb més detall la importància d'aquestes fragàncies florals mitjançant un cas d'estudi realitzat en el Jardí Botànic i Ecològic de la Universitat de Bayreuth (Alemanya). En aquest estudi es va utilitzar una planta focal (la composta Cirsium arvense) i un dels seus pol·linitzadors principal (el sírfid Episyrphus balteatus). Mitjançant mesures de volàtils al laboratori, tècniques d'electroantenografia i bioassajos es va trobar que els senyals olfactius eren més importants que els senyals visuals com a atraients de E. balteatus cap a les inflorescències de C. arvense.

Plant reproductive ecology has emerged as an indispensable discipline for enhancing crop productivity and conserving biodiversity. The adaptive significance of variation in traits associated with floral biology, pollination, seed dispersal, and seedling establishment is an integral component of plant reproductive ecology and evolutionary biology. This book explores the diversity of flower symmetry and the evolutionary patterns of internal structures of generative organs in angiosperms. The rapidly emerging global crisis of declining pollinators poses a major threat to food security. As such, the book also covers the diversity of plant-pollinator interactions, the impact of non-native exotic plant communities on native plants and pollinators, and strategies for the restoration of pollinator communities.
