Floral Ecology</SPAN></I><SPAN class=apple-converted-space><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"> </SPAN></SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">is the most
comprehensive single-volume reference to all aspects of pollination
biology--and the first fully up-to-date resource of its kind to appear
in decades. This beautifully illustrated book describes how flowers use
colors, shapes, and scents to advertise themselves; how they offer
pollen and nectar as rewards; and how they share complex interactions
with beetles, birds, bats, bees, and other creatures. The ecology of
these interactions is covered in depth, including the timing and
patterning of flowering, competition among flowering plants to attract
certain visitors and deter others, and the many ways plants and animals
can cheat each other.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

Floral Ecology</SPAN></I><SPAN class=apple-converted-space><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"> </SPAN></SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">pays special
attention to the prevalence of specialization and generalization in
animal-flower interactions, and examines how a lack of distinction
between casual visitors and true pollinators can produce misleading
conclusions about flower evolution and animal-flower mutualism. This
one-of-a-kind reference also gives insights into the vital pollination
services that animals provide to crops and native flora, and sets these
issues in the context of today's global pollination
crisis.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">"This
is an impressive and valuable contribution to pollination ecology,
floral evolution, plant biology, and entomology. The book is extremely
up-to-date. I am convinced it will become the central reference in the
field and remain so for many years. A pleasure to read."--W. Scott

<P><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">"There
has not been a treatment of pollination biology as extensive as this
since Faegri and van der Pijl's classic book was first published in the
1960s. Willmer does an amazing job catching the reader up on the
literature of the last forty years while keeping the material accessible
to the novice biologist. This will become the bible for floral
biologists studying plant-pollinator interactions."--Charles B. Fenster,
