Revisiting florivory: an integrative review and global patterns of a neglected interaction

MG Boaventura, N Villamil, AL Teixido, R Tito… - New …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Florivory is an ancient interaction which has rarely been quantified due to a lack of
standardized protocols, thus impairing biogeographical and phylogenetic comparisons. We …

Floral resource availability declines and florivory increases along an elevation gradient in a highly biodiverse community

Florivory: the intersection of pollination and herbivory

AC McCall, RE Irwin - Ecology letters, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Plants interact with many visitors who consume a variety of plant tissues. While the
consequences of herbivory to leaves and shoots are well known, the implications of florivory …

Florivory and pollination intersection: changes in floral trait expression do not discourage hummingbird pollination

P Tunes, S Dötterl, E Guimarães - Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 - frontiersin.org
Many flowers are fed on by florivores, but we know little about if and how feeding on flowers
affects their visual and chemical advertisement and nectar resource, which could disrupt …

V Sõber, T Teder, M Moora - Basic and Applied Ecology, 2009 - Elsevier
Changes in plant population size, induced by various forms of habitat degradation, can
affect the performance of plants by altering their interactions with other organisms such as …

Negative effects of conspecific floral density on fruit set of two neotropical understory plants

K Stein, M Templin, I Hensen, M Fischer, D Matthies… - Biotropica, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Plant reproductive success is usually positively related to conspecific floral density, but
neutral or negative effects of floral density on reproduction have also been reported …

Functional flower traits and their diversity drive pollinator visitation

F Fornoff, AM Klein, F Hartig, G Benadi, C Venjakob… - Oikos, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Recent studies have shown that the diversity of flowering plants can enhance pollinator
richness and visitation frequency and thereby increase the resilience of pollination. It is …

Variation in pollen limitation and floral parasitism across a mating system transition in a Pacific coastal dune plant: evolutionary causes or ecological consequences?

S Dart, CG Eckert - Annals of Botany, 2015 - academic.oup.com
Abstract Background and Aims Evolutionary transitions from outcrossing to self-fertilization
