Inhaltsangabe

Recent advances have been made in our understanding of the cognitive and sensory abilities of pollinators and their consequences for floral evolution. This book integrates the work of evolutionary ecologists and neuroethologists to describe how pollinating animals have influenced the extraordinary variety of floral colour, form and scent in nature.

Críticas:

'This book brings together for the first time outstanding scholars from many different fields of pollination biology, integrating the work of neuroethologists and evolutionary ecologists to present a multi-disciplinary approach ... a useful source of information for anyone interested in a modern view of cognitive and sensory ecology, pollination and floral evolution.' Ethology, Ecology & Evolution

'I have found this book so exciting that I have decided to start working on the evolution of flower colour myself. I have no doubt that anyone interested in plant diversity will appreciate the vast amount of information and the clarity that the book comprises when taking us through the fine physiological and ecological details of plant-pollinator interactions.' Plant Systematics and Evolution

'... appropriate for graduate or advanced undergraduate students of animal behavior, plant biology, community ecology, or cognitive science ... most useful for scientists and students of the emergent disciplines of neuroethology and pollination biology; it would make an excellent source for advanced undergraduate courses as well as graduate student seminars in either discipline.' Ethnology

'... valuable information for researchers, teachers, students and others interested in pollination ecology.' Thaiszia: Journal of Botany
