Martin Burd studies the reproductive ecology and evolution of flowering plants, with a focus on how plants allocate resources to male and female reproduction (sex allocation), how efficiently pollination occurs, and the relationships between pollinators and plant reproductive success. His work combines mathematical theory (such as gain curves and the Shaw-Mohler equation) with empirical studies of pollination, flower colour, and reproductive investment.
