Predictable patterns of trait mismatches between interacting plants and insects
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>There are few predictions about the directionality or extent of morphological trait (mis)matches between interacting organisms. We review and analyse studies on morphological trait complementarity (e.g. floral tube length versus inse...
