Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global change, driven by factors such as habitat fragmentation, biotic invasions, pollution, and climate change, represent potential threats to various kinds of biotic interactions, including those related to plants and their floral visitors. Research on plant–pollinator interactions is essential to understanding how these drivers impact the sexual reproductive success of flowering plants and the persistence of their pollinators, both of which are crucial for the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. The articles gathered in this Special Issue will provide significant insights to better understand the pollination ecology in this changing world.
This Special Issue in Plants welcomes research that explores how global change drivers affect plants and their floral visitors.
