Butterflies, bumblebees and hoverflies are equally effective pollinators of Knautia arvensis (Caprifoliaceae), a generalist plant species with compound inflorescences

J Ollerton, E Coulthard, S Tarrant… - Journal of Applied …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library

generalised, that may vary in time and space. A long‐held assumption is that large bees are …

On flower visitors and true pollinators: The case of protandrous Heracleum sphondylium L. (Apiaceae)

M Zych - Plant Systematics and Evolution, 2007 - Springer
Abstract Hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium L.), a common European umbellifer, is very

Fly pollination of dichogamous Angelica sylvestris (Apiaceae): how (functionally) specialized can a (morphologically) generalized plant be?

R Niemirski, M Zych - Plant Systematics and Evolution, 2011 - Springer
Because of the flower morphology and high number of insect visitors, plants of the family
Apiaceae are regarded as generalists in terms of pollination systems. Recent studies …
