Selective pressures from pollinators are major drivers of floral trait variation, often leading to local adaptation. While contrasting pollinator assemblages can shape floral morphology, past climate ...

This study investigates the taxonomic status of Salvia alba J.R.I. Wood and S. personata Epling, two previously synonymized species belonging to the subgenus Calosphace, through an integrative appr...

Salvia guaranitica (violet) and Salvia stachydifolia (orange) and their main pollinators. Differences in growth duration and rate during flower development result in striking differences in corolla t...

Fieldwork-based research and education in ecology are under multiple threats and are progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss of direct field experience within the ecology community, as it could have widespread consequences for science and education, ultimately hindering efforts to address the ongoing biodiversity crisis.
