The pollination niche and its role in the diversification and maintenance of the southern African flora.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 12 Feb 2010

Johnson Steven D

Abstract excerpt

The flora of southern Africa has exceptional species richness and endemism, making it an ideal system for studying the patterns and processes of evolutionary diversification. Using a wealth of recent case studies, I examine the evidence for pollinator-driven diversification in this flora. Pollina...
