Flowers 'giving up' on scarce insects and evolving to self-pollinate, say scientists

3. Fascinating!

Plants are evolving quickly to adapt to adverse developing conditions, even though it may be detrimental to their long-term survivability.

I recently came across a somewhat related article about how seed quality is adversely affected if flowers are visited primarily by honeybees (rather than native insect pollinators):

Humans likely have many more adverse impacts on nature than we recognize.
