Constraints imposed by pollinator behaviour on the ecology and evolution of plant mating systems
C Devaux, C Lepers, E Porcher - Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2014 - academic.oup.com
Most flowering plants rely on pollinators for their reproduction. Plant‐pollinator interactions,
although mutualistic, involve an inherent conflict of interest between both partners and may …

Does the morphological fit between flowers and pollinators affect pollen deposition? An experimental test in a buzz‐pollinated species with anther dimorphism
L Solís‐Montero, M Vallejo‐Marín - Ecology and Evolution, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Some pollination systems, such as buzz‐pollination, are associated with floral morphologies
that require a close physical interaction between floral sexual organs and insect visitors. In …

A bee's eye view of remarkable floral colour patterns in the south-west Australian biodiversity hotspot revealed by false colour photography
K Lunau, D Scaccabarozzi, L Willing… - Annals of Botany, 2021 - academic.oup.com
Abstract Background and Aims Colour pattern is a key cue of bee attraction selectively

High incidence of pollen theft in natural populations of a buzz-pollinated plant
L Solís-Montero, CH Vergara… - Arthropod-Plant …, 2015 - Springer
More than 20,000 angiosperm species possess non-dehiscent anthers that open through
small pores at the anther's tip. These flowers are visited by bees that use vibrations to …

Plant isolation reduces outcross pollen receipt in a partially self-compatible herb
1 Few studies of pollination success in fragmented systems measure stigmatic pollen load,
and those that do often find it unrelated to plant or population density, size or isolation …

Effectiveness of buzz pollination in Pedicularis chamissonis: significance of multiple visits by bumblebees
Y Kawai, G Kudo - Ecological Research, 2009 - Springer
Pollination success of plants is highly susceptible to the frequency of visits and foraging
behavior of pollinators. Pollination of the nectarless flowers of Pedicularis species depends …

Pollen transfer in fragmented plant populations: insight from the pollen loads of pollinators and stigmas in a mass‐flowering species
CEL Delmas, TLC Fort, N Escaravage… - Ecology and …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Pollinator and/or mate scarcity affects pollen transfer, with important ecological and
evolutionary consequences for plant reproduction. However, the way in which the pollen …

Floral emasculation reveals pollen quality limitation of seed output in Bulbine bulbosa (Asphodelaceae)1
G Vaughton, M Ramsey - American Journal of Botany, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Pollen commonly limits seed output in natural plant populations, but the relative
contributions of pollen quantity and quality to pollen limitation remain largely unexplored …
