Does Low Biodiversity Resulting from Modern Agricultural Practice Affect Crop Pollination and Yield
TL;DR: The hypothesis that modern agricultural practice affects natural biotic pollination to the extent that crop yields suffer is examined, finding no clear example of low crop yield resulting from the effect of pesticides or transgenic plants on pollinators.

Genetic diversity revealed in the apomictic fruit species Garcinia mangostana L. (mangosteen)
TL;DR: The results show that considerable genetic diversity exists within G. mangostana and between other Garcinia species, and will assist in the conservation of Garciniagermplasm and provides a valuable framework for the genetic improvement of mangosteen.

Reproductive ecology of dioecious Siparuna (Monimiaceae) in Ecuador--a case of gall midge pollination.
TL;DR: The evolution of unisexual flowers in Siparuna can be explained as a result of the differential predation by larvae: unimportant in male flowers, destructive if occurring in female flowers.
