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., ...

Heterostyly is a floral polymorphism that reduces conflicts between sexual functions (sexual interference), such as self-pollination in self-incompatible flowers and loss of pollen to incompatible stigmas. In many distylous ...

Scenarios where interference is correlated with useful signals are often met in communications systems. Interestingly, even though uncorrelated interference mitigation has been extensively studied by the literature, there ...

Pollinator foraging performance could be altered by volcanic ash contaminated flowers, pollen, and nectar. We used the honeybee (Apis mellifera) as a model organism to understand the effects that volcanic ash could have ...

1. Flower-dwelling predators may interfere in plant–pollinator interactions through changes in pollinator behaviour, leading to a reduction in pollination services. Although the context-dependency of tri-trophic interactions ...

A variação no tamanho floral entre espécies vegetais interfere diretamente no grau de heteranteria e grau hercogamia dentro da flor, e pode favorecer a divisão de trabalho entre as anteras, diminuindo o conflito por pólen ...

Patrones de depósito de polen sobre el cuerpo de los polinizadores en comunidades esfingófilas de Argentina Subtropical. Las especies de plantas que coexisten y comparten agentes polinizadores pueden experimentar competencia ...
