The impact of the invasive alien plant, impatiens glandulifera, on pollen transfer networks
(2015-12-01)
Biological invasions are a threat to the maintenance of ecological processes, including pollination. Plant-flower visitor networks are traditionally used as a surrogated for pollination at the community level, despite they ...
Evaluating the effects of pollinator-mediated interactions using pollen transfer networks: Evidence of widespread facilitation in south Andean plant communities
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-05)
Information about the relative importance of competitive or facilitative pollinator-mediated interactions in a multi-species context is limited. We studied interspecific pollen transfer (IPT) networks to evaluate quantity ...
Dynamics of pollination: A model of insect-mediated pollen transfer in self-incompatible plants
(Elsevier Science BvAmsterdamHolanda, 1998)
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 ...
Functional role of long-lived flowers in preventing pollen limitation in a high elevation outcrossing species
(Oxford university press, 2017)
Low pollinator visitation in harsh environments may lead to pollen limitation which can threaten population persistence. Consequently, avoidance of pollen limitation is expected in outcrossing species subjected to habitually ...
Pollen load size, reproductive success and progeny kinship of natural pollinated flowers of the tropical dry forest tree, Pachira quinata (Bombacaceae)
(2001)
Several studies have demonstrated, using controlled pollinations, that the number and identity of pollen grains deposited onto a flower's stigma affect the reproductive success of plants. However, few studies have shown ...
Pollen dispersal in a population of Passiflora caerulea: spatial components and ecological implications
(Springer, 2019-09)
Sexual reproduction in Angiosperms mostly depends on pollen transfer mediated by an agent. In plants pollinated by biotic agents, reproductive success and population structure are mainly determined by pollinator behavior. ...
