Abstract
Pollination ecology has been a fast growing field since the 1960s. A previous review by Baker & Hurd (18) together with books (77, 84, 220, 221 , 244, 264) and various symposia (e.g. 5, 12, 17, 24, 149, 167, 239) have promoted anthecology so that it remains at the heart of evolutionary and ecological research. This review concentrates on the entomologically relevant litera ture published since 1967. Botanical works must be included, as both insects and flowers mutually aSsure reproductive success. We have attempted to cover concepts, related disciplines, and insect taxa by reference to publica tions through which the reader may delve deeper. We apologize to our colleagues for not citing their works more fully. We dedicate this review to the memory of Paul D. Hurd Jr. His en thusiasm for bees and their relations with flowers, and for insects in general, have been an inspiration to us. His contributions would form the hub of a separate review in itself and we have not attempted to cover his works.
