The best of two worlds: ecology and evolution of ambophilous plants
Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 2, Page 391-420, April 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Ambophily, the mixed mode of wind and insect pollination is still poorly understood, even though it has been known to science for over 130 years. While its presence has been repeatedly inferred, experimental data remain regrettably rare. No specific suite of morphological or ecological characteristics has yet been identified for ambophilous ...
