Nickolas M. Waser is professor emeritus of biology at the University of California, Riverside, and adjunct professor at the School of Natural Resources at the University of Arizona. Jeff Ollerton is senior lecturer in ecology at the School of Applied Sciences at University College Northampton.
"Plant-Pollinator Interactions covers an important theme in
evolutionary ecology with far-reaching applications in conservation
and agriculture. This book will find an eager audience in
specialists studying pollination and other mutualisms, as well as
with biologists who are interested in ecological, evolutionary, and
behavioral aspects of the specialization and generalization of
species."--Ethology "Ecology & Evolution"
"A masterful overview of a rich field in a stage of dynamic
ferment....Plant-Pollinator Interactions will define much of the
debate on the central issue of specialization and generalization in
pollination biology. I recommend it to all students of pollination,
as well as to those interested in broader issues of plant and
animal interactions."--Henry F. Howe "BioScience" (1/1/2007

"In Plant-Pollinator Interactions, Waser and Ollerton bring
together experts from different regions of the world to address how
patterns of specialization and generalization in pollination
systems vary across spatial and temporal scales. . . . An important
contribution to our understanding of plant-pollinator interactions.
. . . By reading this book . . . one will conclude that pollination
biology is undergoing a renaissance that will ultimately provide us
with a deeper understanding of the evolutionary and ecological
processes involved in this fascinating interaction."--Shuang-Quan
Huang "Trends in Ecology and Evolution"
"Plant-Pollinator Interactions is a multifaceted exploration of the
specialization-generalization continuum in pollination; however, it
goes well beyond pollination to draw novel connections with other
interspecific interactions. Conceptually framed, highly synthetic,
and up-to-date, this impressive edited volume should appeal to a
broad cross-section of ecologists and evolutionary
biologists."--Judith Bronstein, University of Arizona-- "Judith

"This is an excellent book that masterfully covers the field of
pollination biology at different scales, from populations through
communities to landscapes, and from both basic and applied
viewpoints. It represents a balanced mix of largely conceptual and
empirical chapters. Empirical work employs the three mainstays of
ecological research-- careful observation, planned experimentation,
and comparative analysis with phylogenetic control. This book would
be an ideal starting point for students interested in studying
plant-pollinator interactions but also, more broadly, for anyone
interested in interspecific interactions and coevolution."--Jacqui
Shykoff, Laboratoire d'Ecologie, Systématique et Evolution,
