Evolutionary Ecology just published a Special Issue on Pollination Exploitation Barriers, edited by Miguel A. Rodríguez-Gironés (EEZA-CSIC) and Luis Santamaría (SEG, EBD-CSIC).
We are very excited about the issue, which allowed us to summarize our recent work on exploitaiton barriers and frame it in the context of the reseach developed by other groups across the world.
Have a look at the contents below, with links embedded in case you want to sample some of the papers:
