Abstract Background The frequency and intensity of droughts are expected to increase under global change, driven by anthropogenic climate change water diversion. Precipitation is become more episodic with longer warmer dry spells, although some areas might wetter. Diversion freshwater from lakes rivers groundwater pumping for irrigation agricultural fields lowering availability wild plant populations, increasing the drought. Given importance seasonal changes extremes in soil moisture influence reproduction, because majority plants flowering most them depend on pollinators seed production, this review focuses consequences drought different aspects reproduction animal-pollinated angiosperms, emphasizing interactions among drought, pollination. Scope Visual olfactory traits play crucial roles attracting pollinators. Drought-induced floral can pollinator attraction visitation, together networks phenology, subsequent effects reproduction. Here, we how influences these We identify knowledge gaps highlight that would benefit additional research. Conclusions affected but their phenotypic responses vary sex, population species. Ample plasticity exists traits, providing an ability a rapid response engendered change. impact drought-induced attraction, pollen deposition reproductive success does not show clear pattern. Drought affects structure plant–pollinator modify phenology. always negative, need characteristics associated positive responses.
