Advances in Plant Reproductive Ecology and Conservation Biology

New advances and research in plant reproductive ecology continue to provide key insights into common and rare plant species. Similarly, the emerging technologies, techniques, and tools in data collection and analyses continue to advance the fields of plant conservation biology and plant reproductive ecology, allowing for discoveries and interpretations that were not feasible at the beginning of the century. Additionally, climate change and ecosystem loss have only continued to accelerate during the 21^st century, resulting in a more pressing need to holistically understand the biology of rare plants. For this Special Issue of Plants, we have included papers that cover a wide variety of perspectives in population genetics, ecology, pollination biology, mutualist and antagonistic interactions, seed ecology, systematics, modeling, etc., toward advancing the fields of reproductive ecology and the conservation of plants. The studies focus on single species or multiple species that include broader implications within the subject matter of the Special Issue. In addition, this Special Issue sought out different research viewpoints and perspectives within and outside academia and captured a global perspective of plant reproductive ecology and conservation biology. Collectively, these studies provide a diverse perspective on the fields at present and help to point a direction forward for conservation biology.
