Patterns of Individual Variability in Floral Resources
Ecology, 1988The distribution and presentation of floral rewards to insects has been demonstrated to influence pollinator visitation rates, pollinator movements, and consequent plant fitness. However, very little is known about the extant variation in nectar rewards among individuals in a single population.

Floral resources enhance aphid suppression by a hoverfly
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2011AbstractThe reduction in floral diversity that often accompanies agricultural intensification may compromise the effectiveness of many natural enemies. Field studies examining the effects of floral resources on natural enemy fitness have been rare, however, particularly for predators such as hoverflies.

Resource‐ and pollinator‐mediated selection on floral traits
Functional Ecology, 2016Summary Female reproductive success is predicted to be simultaneously limited by the availability of pollen and resources. Selection on floral traits results from both factors, but their relative importance and interaction is poorly understood.

Responses of Social and Solitary Bees to Pulsed Floral Resources
The American Naturalist, 2013Pulsed food resources lead to mismatches between distribution of consumers and resources in space and time. Many studies have investigated how pollinators and floral resources covary in space, but few have looked at their covariance among years. I studied responses of two bee taxa, Bombus (a social genus) and Anthophora (a solitary genus), to variation

Floral Longevity: Fitness Consequences and Resource Costs
1996Floral longevity (the period of time from anthesis to floral senescence) plays an important role in the reproductive ecology of plants. As noted by Primack (1985), the length of time a flower is open can influence its total number of pollinator visits, which, in turn, can affect the amount and diversity of pollen a flower receives, and the amount of ...

Temporal partitioning of a floral resource by territorial hummingbirds
Ibis, 1998Most studies of territoriality in hummingbirds have focused on intraspecific competition for resources and the consequences for the spatial distribution of individuals within a habitat. As a result, we know little of the effects of interspecific competition for resources and less still of temporal resource partitioning. Here I describe the interactions

Measuring parasitoid movement from floral resources in a vineyard
Biological Control, 2008Abstract The movement of natural enemies from floral resources is of particular importance in habitat manipulation research, as the distances that they disperse have consequences for the deployment of floral resources to improve insect natural enemy fitness.

The effect of resource limitation on floral visitors of Monardella odoratissima
2019Fluctuating flowering patterns affect an environments floral abundance, impacting the spatial structure of nectar and pollen resources, ultimately influencing floral visitor foraging behavior. We examined the effect of reducing floral resources on floral visitors of Monardella odoratissima, commonly known as the mountain coyote mint.
