Anthobiology
Definition
A specialized branch of botany and ecology that studies the biology of flowers, focusing on flowering mechanisms, the structure of reproductive organs, and the complex biological interactions between plants and pollinators (insects, birds). This discipline analyzes the evolutionary adaptations of floral structures to ensure reproductive success and the perpetuation of plant species.
