Assessing the effects of native plants on the pollination of an exotic herb, the blueweed Echium vulgare (Boraginaceae)
(2013)
The impacts of exotic plants on the pollination and reproductive success of natives have been widely reported; however, in spite of its importance for the invasive process, the role of native plants in the pollination and ...
The most effective pollinator principle applies to new invasive pollinators
(Royal Society, 2018-06)
G. L. Stebbins' most effective pollinator principle states that when pollinators are not limiting, plants are expected to specialize and adapt to the most abundant and effective pollinator species available. In this study, ...
Heterospecific pollen transfer from an exotic plant to native plants: assessing reproductive consequences in an Andean grassland
(2016)
Background: The presence of exotic plants increases the heterospecific pollen (HP hereafter) received by native plants and reduces their reproductive output. Aims: We assessed whether the exotic herb Echium vulgare ...
Exotic plants promote pollination niche overlap in an agroecosystem
(Elsevier Science, 2017-02)
Agricultural land management modifies ecosystem structure and functioning in natural landscapes. Pollinators are a key functional group that may suffer from such intensification. Here we evaluate how agricultural land ...
Impact of invasive bees on plant-pollinator interactions and reproductive success of plant species in mixed Nothofagus Antarctica forests
(Sociedade Entomológica do Brasil, 2020-07-30)
Invasive social bees can alter plant-pollinator interactions with detrimental effects on both partners. However, most studies have focused on one invasive bee species, while the interactions among two or more species remain ...
Nectar sugar composition and pollinators for the naturalized exotic Leonurus japonicus (Lamiaceae) in central Argentina
(The Society of Plant Reproductive Biologists, 2010-06)
Volumes of nectar and sugar concentration were measured in different populations of the naturalized exotic Leonurus japonicus Houtt. (Lamiacaea) in central Argentina. Qualitative and quantitative nectar sugar composition ...
Pollination biology of Echinopsis leucantha (Cactaceae): Passerine birds and exotic bees as effective pollinators
(National Research Council Canada-NRC Research Press, 2016-08-31)
Cactus flowers have traditionally been considered to be specialized to certain pollination guilds, but pollination studies reveal that most species are actually generalists. This suggests that floral traits are not always ...
Agricultural land management negatively affects pollination service in Pampean agro-ecosystems
(Elsevier Science, 2016-01)
Agricultural land management modify environments in such a way that ecosystem functions are impaired. The establishment of exotic plants, favoured by agricultural land management, may alter the foraging behaviour of native ...
