Bee, hummingbird or mixed pollinated Salvia species mirror pathways to pollination optimization: a morphometric analysis based on the Pareto front concept
(National Research Council Canada-NRC Research Press, 2016-09)
Optimization of flower phenotypes to ensure pollination by agents differing in their match with fertile flower structures can involve fitness trade-offs if the aspects of the phenotype that enhance the fitness contribution ...
Towards an integrated species and habitat management of crop pollination
(Elsevier Inc, 2017-06)
Pollination deficits are widespread in current agriculture, so improving management for crop pollination is critical. Here we review the two most common management approaches to enhance crop pollination, species and habitat ...
The least effective pollinator principle: Specialized morphology despite generalized ecology
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-06)
The large body of work on the adaptation of plants to pollinators is still somewhat incomplete because most studies focus on one-to-one interactions. How will adaptation proceed in a multi-pollinator environment? According ...
Coordinated species importation policies are needed to reduce serious invasions globally: The case of alien bumblebees in South America
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2019)
© 2018 The Authors. Journal of Applied Ecology © 2018 British Ecological SocietyThe global trade of species promotes diverse human activities but also facilitates the introduction of potentially invasive species into new ...
The value of pollinator-friendly practices: Synergies between natural and anthropogenic assets
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2016-12-12)
Sustainable livelihoods and human well-being depend on multiple anthropogenic and natural assets (stock of materials or information that exists in a point in time). However, the simultaneous and multiple impacts of land-use ...
Coordinated species importation policies are needed to reduce serious invasions globally: The case of alien bumblebees in South America
(Wiley, 2019-01)
The global trade of species promotes diverse human activities but also facilitates the introduction of potentially invasive species into new environments. As species ignore national boundaries, unilateral national decisions ...
