Wild pollinators enhance fruit set of crops regardless of honey-bee abundance
(American Association For The Advancement Of Science, 2013-03)
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 ...
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, ...
Generalized pollination system: are floral traits adapted to different pollinators?
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2014)
Flowers that are pollinated both during the day and at night could exhibit two different groups of pollinators and produce two different sets of attractants and rewards. We explored the patterns of emission of flower scents ...
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 ...
Persistence of plants and pollinators in the face of habitat loss: Insights from trait-based metacommunity models
(Elsevier Academic Press Inc, 2015-11)
The loss of natural habitats is one of the main causes of the global decline of biodiversity. Understanding how increasing habitat loss affects ecological processes is critical for mitigating the effects of environmental ...
Floral integration and pollinator diversity in the generalized plant-pollinator system of Alstroemeria ligtu (Alstroemeriaceae)
(Springer, 2014)
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 ...
Disruption of pollination services by invasive pollinator species
(Springer, 2017)
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 ...
