Understanding the pollination requirements of threatened species is critical for the success
of long-term conservation strategies. In a series of greenhouse experiments, we assessed …

Reproductive success in flowering plants depends on floral biology, breeding system, and
availability of compatible mates and pollinators. Here, we examine the pollination biology of …

Pollinators can be crucial to reproductive success and long-term survival of endangered
plant species. As is the case for many endangered plants, no pollination studies have been …

Amsinckia grandiflora (large-flowered fiddleneck) is an extremely rare California annual
wildflower, known only from threepopulations. We conducted field and greenhouse …

Reproductive ecology of Agalinis acuta was investigated by examining potential for self‐
fertilization before and at anthesis, reproductive output from outcrossed vs. selfed matings …

Byrsonima lucida (Mill.) DC is the only member of the tropical plant family Malpighiaceae
native to North America, and is considered a threatened species by the state of Florida. In …

We examined the effects of habitat area and patch isolation on reproductive success in
serpentine morning glory (Calystegia collina [Convolvulaceae]), a primarily self …

We investigated the reproductive biology of three plants endemic to rosemary scrub habitats
on the Lake Wales Ridge of Florida, USA. We used hand-pollination experiments and …

The evolution of self‐pollination has long been considered an adaptive strategy to cope with
low or variable pollinator service; however, alternative reproductive strategies, such as …

Knowledge of the breeding and pollination systems of rare plants is essential for their
effective management (Sipes and Tepedino 1995; Kearns and Inouye 1997; Kearns et al …
