Snail-pollination in Volvulopsis nummularium [PDF]
Pollination is a crucial ecological process that aids sexual reproduction in flowering plants. Although a variety of animals are known to bring about pollen transfer, pollination by snails (malacophily) has remained a rare and obscure phenomenon. Here we

Wege der Mikroevolution und Artbildung bei Bienen (Apoidea, Hymenoptera): Populationsgenetische und empirische Aspekte [PDF]
Bees are haplodiploid organisms: haploid males develop from unfertilized eggs, diploid females from fertilized eggs. Under haplodiploidy, deleterious mutations are effectively purged by purifying selection on haploid males.

No evidence for missed mutualists in an invasive plant with the buzz pollination syndrome
The missed mutualist hypothesis predicts that the absence of mutualistic partners poses a barrier to introduced species becoming invasive. Yet, some alien plants thrive despite potential dependence on certain pollinators.
