Flower diversification across “pollinator climates”: Sensory aspects of corolla color evolution in the florally diverse south american genus Jaborosa (Solanaceae)
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-12)
Flower phenotype may diverge within plant lineages when moving across “pollinator climates” (geographic differences in pollinator abundance or preference). Here we explored the potential importance of pollinators as drivers ...
Pollinator declines and the stability of plant–pollinator networks
(Wiley, 2020-04)
Population declines of pollinators constitute a major concern for the fate of biodiversity and associated ecosystem services in a context of global change. Massive declines of pollinator populations driven by habitat loss, ...
Pollination efficiency of artificial and bee pollination practices in kiwifruit
(Elsevier Science, 2019-02)
The area cultivated with pollinator-dependent crops is increasing worldwide, while a shortfall in pollinator availability is a growing problem in many agroecosystems. For this reason, many highly pollinator-dependent crops ...
Reproductive ecology of the bird-pollinated Nicotiana glauca across native and introduced ranges with contrasting pollination environments
(Springer, 2019-10)
Introduced plants become decoupled from their usual pollinators and by relying on resident pollinator species or other reproductive strategies become established in new areas, spread and, eventually, invade. Here, using ...
Temporal variation in pollination services to Cucurbita moschata is determined by bee gender and diversity
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018-11)
It has been proposed that species-rich insect communities and species turnover across landscapes enhance the pollination efficiency of crops through complementarity, where both the dominant and less abundant species ...
Risks to pollinators and pollination from invasive alien species
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-12)
Invasive alien species modify pollinator biodiversity and the services they provide that underpin ecosystem function and human well-being. Building on the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform for Biodiversity and ...
Pollinator-mediated selection in a specialized pollination system: matches and mismatches among populations
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2010-09)
Most studies on pollinator-mediated selection have been performed in generalized rather than specialized pollination systems. This situation has impeded evaluation of the extent to which selection acts on attraction or ...
Modularity, pollination systems, and interaction turnover in plant‐pollinator networks across space
(Wiley, 2016-05)
Mutualistic interaction networks have been shown to be structurally conserved over space and time while pairwise interactions show high variability. In such networks, modularity is the division of species into compartments, ...
Pollination of slipper orchids (cypripedioideae): a reviewPollination of slipper orchids (cypripedioideae): a review
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2013)
Pollination in socio-agroecosystems: Recommendations to preserve the diversity of pollinators
(The Society of Plan Reproductive Biologists, 2020-01)
Pollinators play a crucial role in human well-being, as they contribute to pollination of many crops and influence plant reproduction and biodiversity conservation of native plants. There is a gradual disappearance of major ...
