Pollination
Flowering plants usually face evolutionary pressure to optimise the transfer of their pollen, and this is typically reflected in the morphology of their flowers and their reproductive strategies. Agents that transport pollen between plants are called vectors. Around 80% of flowering plants make use of biotic or living vectors. Others use abiotic or non-living vectors, or some combination of the two.
