Pollination syndromes in a specialised plant-pollinator interaction: does floral morphology predict pollinators in Calceolaria?
(Wiley, 2015)
Pollination syndromes are defined as suites of floral traits evolved in response to selection
imposed by a particular group of pollinators (e.g., butterflies, hummingbirds,
bats). Although numerous studies demonstrated ...
Do floral syndromes predict specialisation in plant pollination systems? Assessment of diurnal and nocturnal pollination of escallonia myrtoidea
(2006)
Pollination syndromes lead to questions concerning the role of different suites of pollinators on the pollination success of plants. Escallonia myrtoidea exhibits floral traits associated with pollination by diurnal ...
Pollination ecology of the Cerrado species Eschweilera nana (Lecythidaceae subfam. Lecythidoideae)
(2013-09-06)
Eschweilera nana is pollinated by a guild of pollinators consisting of mostly bees. Effective pollinators are large bees able to force their way into the closed androecium to access nectar. The morphology of the flowers ...
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 ...
Modularity, pollination systems, and interaction turnover in plant-pollinator networks across space
(2016-05-01)
Mutualistic interaction networks have been shown to be structurally conserved over space and time while pairwise interactions show high variability. In such networks, modularity is the division of species into compartments, ...
Modularity, pollination systems, and interaction turnover in plant‐pollinator networks across space
(Wiley, 2016-05)
Mutualistic interaction networks have been shown to be structurally conserved over space and time while pairwise interactions show high variability. In such networks, modularity is the division of species into compartments, ...
Temporal variation in pollinarium size after its removal in species of Bulbophyllum: a different mechanism preventing self-pollination in Orchidaceae
(Springer-verlag WienViennaAustria, 1999)
Pollination efficiency of artificial and bee pollination practices in kiwifruit
(Elsevier Science, 2019-02)
The area cultivated with pollinator-dependent crops is increasing worldwide, while a shortfall in pollinator availability is a growing problem in many agroecosystems. For this reason, many highly pollinator-dependent crops ...
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 ...
Pollination Syndromes: A Global Pattern of Convergent Evolution Driven by the Most Effective Pollinator
(Springer, 2015)
Convergent evolution of floral traits driven by pollinators has resulted in fl oral syndromes shared among different plant lineages. However, the flowers of many plant species are often visited by different pollinator groups, ...
