Many introduced plant species rely on mutualisms in their new habitats to overcome barriers
to establishment and to become naturalized and, in some cases, invasive. Mutualisms …

▪ Abstract Quantifying the extent to which seed production is limited by the availability of
pollen has been an area of intensive empirical study over the past few decades. Whereas …

Determining whether seed production is pollen limited has been an area of intensive
empirical study over the last two decades. Yet current evidence does not allow satisfactory …

Bateman's principle states that male fitness is usually limited by the number of matings
achieved, while female fitness is usually limited by the resources available for reproduction …

Global pollinator declines and land-use change can lead to pollination limitation with
implications for agricultural productivity. Hand pollination is used in agricultural production …

We conducted a comparative analysis to determine life history and ecological correlates of
pollen limitation among 224 species of animal-pollinated flowering plants. To test …

More than 70% of the leading global food crops, accounting for 35% of the global food
production, are affected by pollination of flower-visiting animals, but the main pollinators …

There is increasing recognition that pollination deficits are limiting crop yields world‐wide.
However, management strategies for optimal insect pollination are still unclear for most …

AJ Bateman's approach to animal mating systems is generalized to provide a framework for
studying sexual selection in plants and hermaphroditic animals. The key feature of this …

Introductions of exotic species provide unique opportunities to study the demographic
significance of species interactions, but as yet there is little information on how mutualistic …
