Enhanced UV-Reflection Facilitated a Shift in the Pollination Systemof the Red Poppy, Papaver rhoeas (Papaveraceae)
(MDPI, 2020)
Evolutionary change is considered a major factor influencing the invasion of new habitats by plants. Yet, evidence on how such modifications promote range expansion remains rather limited. Here we investigated flower color ...
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 ...
Different points of view in a changing world: The tobacco tree flowers through the eyes of its pollinators in native and non-native ranges
(University of Northampton, 2020)
Different pollinators show distinct visual and cognitive abilities that can influence floral colour evolution. Nicotiana glauca is a South American hummingbird-pollinated plant that has become a significant invasive of ...
Asymmetric effects of biological invasions on pollination interactions
(Universidad de Chile, 2020-05)
Las invasiones biológicas son un importante motor de pérdida de biodiversidad. Ciertas
especies exóticas invaden exitosamente las comunidades y alteran los patrones locales de
interacciones ecológicas, afectando el ...
Species roles in plant–pollinator communities are conserved across native and alien ranges
(2016-08-01)
Aim: Alien species alter interaction networks by disrupting existing interactions, for example between plants and pollinators, and by engaging in new interactions. Predicting the effects of an incoming invader can be ...
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 ...
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 ...
Invasive bees promote high reproductive success in Andean orchids
(Elsevier, 2014-07)
Most non-autogamous orchids rely on either a single, or on a small number of pollinators to set fruit. The nectar-rewarding orchid Brachystele unilateralis and the nectarless and deceit-pollinated Chloraea virescens are ...
Massively Introduced Managed Species and Their Consequences for Plant–Pollinator Interactions
(Elsevier Academic Press Inc, 2017-02-19)
Since the rise of agriculture, human populations have domesticated plant and animal species to fulfil their needs. With modern agriculture, a limited number of these species has been massively produced over large areas at ...
