About Steven D. Johnson

Steven D. Johnson, With an exceptional h-index of 83 and a recent h-index of 45 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at University of KwaZulu-Natal, specializes in the field of Evolutionary biology, pollination biology, plant reproduction, chemical ecology, invasion biology.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Nectar cardenolides and floral volatiles mediate a specialized wasp pollination system

A shift between bee and wasp pollinators explains floral divergence in the Duvernoia clade of Justicia (Acanthaceae)

Incomplete resupination during floral development leads to pollination failure in a slipper orchid

Complex floral morphology and scent chemistry mediate hawkmoth pollination of an African orchid in the diverse Habenaria clade

Convergent evolutionary patterns of heterostyly across angiosperms support the pollination-precision hypothesis

Frugivory by carnivores: Black‐backed jackals are key dispersers of seeds of the scented! nara melon in the Namib Desert

Pollination of Chamaepentas nobilis (Rubiaceae) by long‐proboscid hawkmoths in south‐central Africa: Trait mismatching and floral scent chemistry

Pollination of Disa engleriana (Orchidaceae): Floral modifications for deposition of pollinaria on the abdomen of large bees and wasps
