INDEPENDENT ORIGINATION OF FLORAL ZYGOMORPHY, A PREDICTED ADAPTIVE RESPONSE TO POLLINATORS: DEVELOPMENTAL AND GENETIC MECHANISMS [PDF]
, 2016 Observations of floral development indicate that floral organ initiation in pentapetalous flowers more commonly results in a medially positioned abaxial petal (MAB) than in a medially positioned adaxial petal (MAD), where the medial plane is defined by ...

Characterising pesticide residues in floral resources for bees
, 2023 APPROVED Pesticide use in agriculture is one of the main factors driving pollinator declines. Bees are highly important pollinators and may be at risk from exposure to pesticide compounds while foraging for pollen and nectar. In this thesis, I explored the extent of pollen and nectar contamination by pesticides used in agriculture.
