Synopsis
Just as flowering plants depend on their pollinators, many birds, insects, 
and bats rely on plants for energy and nutrients. This plant-pollinator 
relationship is essential to the survival of natural and agricultural 
ecosystems. "Plant-Pollinator Interactions portrays the intimate 
relationships of pollination over time and space and reveals patterns of 
interactions from individual to community levels, showing how these patterns 
change at different spatial and temporal scales.

Nickolas M. Waser and Jeff Ollerton bring together experts from around the 
world to offer a comprehensive analysis of pollination, including the 
history of thinking about specialization and generalization and a comparison 
of pollination to other mutualisms. An overview of current thinking and of 
future research priorities, "Plant-Pollinator Interactions covers an 
important theme in evolutionary ecology with far-reaching applications in 
conservation and agriculture. This book will find an eager audience in 
specialists studying pollination and other mutualisms, as well as with 
biologists who are interested in ecological, evolutionary, and behavioral 
aspects of the specialization and generalization of species.
