Studies in floral biology are largely concerned with how flowers
function to promote pollination and mating. The role of pollination
in governing mating patterns in plant populations inextricably
links the evolution of pollination and mating systems. Despite the
close functional link between pollination and mating, research
conducted for most of this century on these two fundamental aspects
of plant reproduction has taken quite separate courses. This has
resulted in suprisingly little cross-fertilization between the
fields of pollination biology on the one hand and plant
mating-system studies on the other. The separation of the two areas
has largely resulted from the different backgrounds and approaches
adopted by workers in these fields. Most pollination studies have
been ecological in nature with a strong emphasis on field research
and until recently few workers considered how the mechanics of
pollen dispersal might influence mating patterns and individual
plant fitness. In contrast, work on plant mating patterns has often
been conducted in an ecological vacuum largely devoid of
information on the environmental and demographic context in which
mating occurs. Mating-system research has been dominated by
population genetic and theoretical perspectives with surprisingly
little consideration given to the proximate ecological factors
responsible for causing a particular pattern of mating to occur.
