By Anna Hargreaves (Dept. Biology, 缅北强奸)

While pollination is a textbook example of a mutualism, where both parties benefit, flowers and their animal visitors are in it for themselves, and will happily get what they need 鈥� pollination or food, respectively 鈥� without paying for it in return. The lure of cheating and the desire to not get cheated have lead to some of flowers' most interesting adaptations.

The main culprits will surprise you...
