The flowers of C. spinosissima Gmel. at three sites in Argentina during the 1998-2000 flowering seasons received visits of both day- and night flying insects which fed on nectar and/or pollen. The seventy-three visitor ...

The study of geographical variation of phenotypic floral traits provides a suitable background to understand the role of pollinator assemblages as drivers of floral diversity patterns. Here we present three plant-pollinator ...

Floral integration may result from the combined effects of pollinator-mediated selection, genetic correlations and abiotic factors. Thus, by sampling a set of populations in the field and examining their variation of floral ...

The diversity and abundance of wild insect pollinators have declined in many agricultural landscapes. Whether such declines reduce crop yields, or are mitigated by managed pollinators such as honey bees, is unclear. We ...

Pollination interactions between plants bearing oil-flowers and oil-collecting bees are regarded as specialized, and within the major group of bees,oil-collecting bees are considered a special functional group of pollinators, ...
