Why flower visitation is a poor proxy for pollination: measuring single‐visit pollen deposition, with implications for pollination networks and conservation
C King, G Ballantyne, PG Willmer - Methods in Ecology and …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
The relative importance of specialized and generalized plant‐pollinator relationships is
contentious, yet analyses usually avoid direct measures of pollinator quality (effectiveness) …

Spatiotemporal variation in the pollination systems of a supergeneralist plant: is Angelica sylvestris (Apiaceae) locally adapted to its most effective pollinators?
Abstract Background and Aims In terms of pollination systems, umbellifers (plants of the
carrot family, Apiaceae) are regarded as generalists, since their (usually dichogamous) …

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
Plant‐pollinator interactions exist along a continuum from complete specialisation to highly
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
variable in terms of flower and inflorescence morphology. Its flowers are visited by numerous …

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 …

Exceptional evolutionary lability of flower‐like inflorescences (pseudanthia) in Apiaceae subfamily Apioideae
Premise Pseudanthia are widespread and have long been postulated to be a key innovation
responsible for some of the angiosperm radiations. The aim of our study was to analyze …
