TL;DR: It is found that in each community a core group of long-tubed plant species might together be involved in diffuse coevolution with the fly, and in poorly matched populations, the imbalance in armament is too great to allow reciprocal selection to act, and these species might instead experience one-sided selection that leads to convergence with the core species.

TL;DR: Study of a portion of a pollination web involving a generalist pollinator, the oil-collecting bee Rediviva peringueyi, and a community of oil-secreting plants finds substantial variation in the bees' occurrence in relation to soil type and the successional stage of the vegetation.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the two dominant mutualisms in terrestrial ecosystems can play major but contrasting roles in plant community assembly and speciation.

TL;DR: World regions of particular concern are identified where environmentally damaging practices associated with large‐scale, industrial agriculture threaten key ecosystem services that underlie productivity, in addition to other benefits provided by biodiversity.

TL;DR: It is suggested that Baker's law might be tested in four different contexts, which set the breadth of its scope: the colonization of oceanic islands, metapopulation dynamics with recurrent colonization, range expansions with recurrent Colonization, and colonization through species invasions.
