Description

Important breakthroughs have recently been made in our understanding of the cognitive and sensory abilities of pollinators: how pollinators perceive, memorise and react to floral signals and rewards; how they work flowers, move among inflorescences and transport pollen. These new findings have obvious implications for the evolution of floral display and diversity, but most existing publications are scattered across a wide range of journals in very different research traditions. 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. Aimed at graduates and researchers of behavioural and pollination ecology, plant evolutionary biology and neuroethology, it will also be a useful source of information for anyone interested in a modern view of cognitive and sensory ecology, pollination and floral evolution.

Media Reviews

'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
