The most effective pollinator principle applies to new invasive pollinators
(Royal Society Publishing, 2018)
© 2018 The Author(s) Published by the Royal Society. All rights reserved. G. L. Stebbins' most effective pollinator principle states that when pollinators are not limiting, plants are expected to specialize and adapt to ...
Invasive conifers reduce seed set of a native Andean cedar through heterospecific pollination competition
(Springer, 2015-04)
The invasion of natural forest communities by introduced woody species may threat processes that are critical for ecosystem integrity, including plant pollination and reproduction. In particular, invasive conifers (e.g., ...
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 ...
Pollination ecology of the invasive tree tobacco nicotiana glauca: comparisons across native and non-native ranges
(Public Knowledge Project, 2012-09)
Interactions with pollinators are thought to play a significant role in determining whether plant species become invasive, and ecologically generalised species are predicted to be more likely to invade than more specialised ...
Potential contribution to the invasion process of different reproductive strategies of two invasive roses
(Springer, 2017-02)
The type of reproductive system may be an important trait for the establishment and maintenance of populations of invasive plant species in new areas, as it can influence their demography and genetics. We studied the ...
Number of conspecifics and reproduction in the invasive plant Eschscholzia californica (Papaveraceae): Is there a pollinator-mediated Allee effect?
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2015)
© 2014 German Botanical Society and The Royal Botanical Society of the Netherlands.The component Allee effect has been defined as 'a positive relationship between any measure of individual fitness and the number or density ...
Invasive Africanized honeybees change the structure of native pollination networks in Brazil
(Springer, 2012-11-01)
The Africanized honeybee Apis mellifera (AHB) is an invasive species spread over all Brazilian biomes, which has negative impacts on native bee populations, but whose impacts on native plants are still controversial. In ...
Are native bees and Apis mellifera equally efficient pollinators of the rupestrian grassland daisy Aspilia jolyana (Asteraceae)?
(Soc Botanica Brasil, 2018-07-01)
Most angiosperms rely on animals for pollination, and insects, especially bees, are the most frequent pollinators. Many native Neotropical plants are frequently visited by the invasive honeybee (Apis mellifera), but its ...
Towards an integrated species and habitat management of crop pollination
(Elsevier Inc, 2017-06)
Pollination deficits are widespread in current agriculture, so improving management for crop pollination is critical. Here we review the two most common management approaches to enhance crop pollination, species and habitat ...
Species roles in plant–pollinator communities are conserved across native and alien ranges
(2016-08-01)
Aim: Alien species alter interaction networks by disrupting existing interactions, for example between plants and pollinators, and by engaging in new interactions. Predicting the effects of an incoming invader can be ...
