American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Declines in pollinator populations can reduce pollination services to plants, resulting in lower seed production. In response to these reductions, plants could increase the probability of pollinator visitation by plastically extending floral longevity.

Confessions of a Poverty Researcher: My Journey Through the Foothills of Scholarship
Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper describes the key events, experiences and ideas that influenced the author's career as a poverty researcher. He describes how his early disillusion with economics was replaced by a spark of interest in social issues and how his migration from the UK to Australia in the mid‐1970s provided the impetus to begin what became a lifetime ...

Iheringia: Série Zoologia, 2018 : Pollination depends on morphological and behavioural adjustments between visitors and plants. Some plant species as Ipomoea bahiensis (Convolvulaceae) provide nectar and pollen to visitors and occur in anthropic areas, therefore becoming an important ...

DNA metabarcoding reveals greater plant diversity than morphological seed analysis of bird feces
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Fruit‐eating birds drive seed dispersal in recovering tropical ecosystems, shaping forest regeneration. Molecular techniques, such as DNA metabarcoding, enable diet analysis from feces and can provide complementary frugivory data where dispersal is infrequent, as well as aid in seed identification in hyper‐diverse regions lacking ...

The impact of honey bees on montane ecosystems within Tongariro National Park : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Ecology at Massey University [PDF]
, 1996 A study of the effects of honey bees on montane ecosystems was conducted during the summers of 1993/1994 and 1994/1995 at Tongariro National Park. Three possible effects of the introduced honey bee were examined.

Floral scents repel facultative flower visitors, but attract obligate ones [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2010 Biological mutualisms rely on communication between partners, but also require protective measures against exploitation. Animal-pollinated flowers need to attract pollinators but also to avoid conflicts with antagonistic consumers. The view of flower visitors as mutualistic and antagonistic agents considers primarily the plants' interest.

Animal‐mediated seed dispersal: A review of study methods
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract By dispersing seeds, animals provide ecological functions critical for the ecology, evolution, and conservation of plants. We review quantitative and empirical approaches and emerging technologies to quantify processes and patterns of animal‐mediated seed dispersal (zoochory) across its phases: from predispersal to postdispersal.

Body donor programs in Australia and New Zealand: Current status and future opportunities
Anatomical Sciences Education, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 301-328, March 2025.Abstract Body donation is critical to anatomy study in Australia and New Zealand. Annually, more than 10,000 students, anatomists, researchers, and clinicians access tissue donated by local consented donors through university‐based body donation programs. However, little research has been published about their operations.
