Thesis Abstract

The relationship between plants and their pollinators is crucial for the reproductive success and overall fitness of both parties involved. This project aims to investigate the impact of plant-pollinator mutualisms on plant fitness. The study will focus on examining the co-evolutionary dynamics between plants and their pollinators, the mechanisms of pollination, and the consequences of pollinator loss or decline on plant reproductive success. By understanding the intricate interactions between plants and pollinators, this research will contribute to our knowledge of ecosystem functioning and conservation strategies for maintaining healthy plant-pollinator mutualisms
