Deforestation can impact the quality of pollen received by target plants (ie delivery of
incompatible pollen, self‐pollen or pollen from closely related individuals). Such reductions …

Premise Genetically diverse sibships are thought to increase parental fitness through a
reduction in the intensity of sib competition, and through increased opportunities for seedling …

Mutualism effectiveness, the contribution of an interacting organism to its partner's fitness, is
defined as the number of immediate outcomes of the interactions (quantity component) …

Premise Reproductive fitness in plants is often determined by the quantity and quality of
pollen transferred by pollinators. However, many fitness studies measure only female fitness …

Adaptive phenotypic plasticity evolves in response to the contrasting selection pressures
that arise when organisms face environmental heterogeneity. Despite its importance for …

In flowering plants, pollinators contribute to gene flow while they also respond to variation in
plant traits together determined by genetic, epigenetic and environmental sources of …

Premise Opportunistic nectar‐feeders may act as effective pollinators; nonetheless, we still
lack information on whether these opportunistic species differ in their pollination …

Simple Summary Pollinators' features, especially those with a functional role during the
pollination process, have been shown to be a good predictor of pollen load for some bee …

Premise Variation in pollinator effectiveness may contribute to pollen limitation in
fragmented plant populations. In plants with multiovulate ovaries, the number of conspecific …

Despite the significant contribution of stingless bees to pollination and conservation of the
environment, information on their effectiveness as pollinators is insufficient. Therefore, we …
