▪ 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 …

The great taxonomic diversity of the Orchidaceae is often attributed to adaptive radiation for
specific pollinators driven by selection for outcrossing. However, when one looks beyond the …

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 …

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 …

Pollinators-insects, birds, bats, and other animals that carry pollen from the male to the
female parts of flowers for plant reproduction-are an essential part of natural and agricultural …

In reward—producing animal—pollinated plants, small populations are likely to be less
attractive to pollinators than large populations. The likelihood of pollinator limitation of seed …

The ecological impacts of agriculture are of concern, especially with genetically modified
and other intensive, modern cropping systems, yet little is known about effects on wild bee …

The development of a bee species as a new crop pollinator starts with the identification of a
pollination-limited crop production deficit and the selection of one or more candidate …

Field edge habitat in homogeneous agricultural landscapes can serve multiple purposes
including enhanced biodiversity, water quality protection, and habitat for beneficial insects …
