Niche Perspectives on Plant–Pollinator Interactions [PDF]
Trends in Plant Science, 2020 Ecological niches are crucial for species coexistence and diversification, but the niche concept has been underutilized in studying the roles of pollinators in plant evolution and reproduction. Pollination niches can be objectively characterized using pollinator traits, abundance, and distributions, as well as network topology.

The effects of rainfall on plant–pollinator interactions [PDF]
Arthropod-Plant Interactions, 2019 As global surface temperatures rise, global precipitation rates are predicted to increase. These localised increases in rainfall patterns may significantly affect plant–pollinator interactions in multiple ways. Detrimental effects to plant–pollinator interactions could have significant ecological and economic consequences, and so it is important to ...

The dynamics of a plant-pollinator interaction
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1981Abstract A mathematical model of the dynamics of plant-pollinator interaction is presented. The functional response of individual pollinators to the density of plants is considered and this makes possible the existence of two equilibrium points for the association.

EVOLUTION OF POLYPLOIDY AND THE DIVERSIFICATION OF PLANT–POLLINATOR INTERACTIONS
Ecology, 2008One of the major mechanisms of plant diversification has been the evolution of polyploid populations that differ from their diploid progenitors in morphology, physiology, and environmental tolerances. Recent studies have indicated that polyploidy may also have major effects on ecological interactions with herbivores and pollinators.

Global warming and the disruption of plant–pollinator interactions
Ecology Letters, 2007Abstract Anthropogenic climate change is widely expected to drive species extinct by hampering individual survival and reproduction, by reducing the amount and accessibility of suitable habitat, or by eliminating other organisms that are essential to the species in question. Less well appreciated is the likelihood

Plant–pollinator interactions and the assembly of plant communities
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2008Most studies of plant community assembly have focused on how the abiotic aspects of a habitat (e.g. soil moisture or mineral composition) or direct interactions among plants in a community (e.g. competition for space or nutrients) influence which species establish and persist, but they have tended to neglect indirect interactions such as those mediated

Size‐matching as an important driver of plant–pollinator interactions
Plant Biology, 2021Abstract One of the greatest challenges in ecology is to understand and predict the functional outcome of interaction networks. Size‐matching between plants and pollinators is one of the key functional traits expected to play a major role in structuring plant–pollinator interactions.

Shifts in water availability mediate plant–pollinator interactions [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2017 SummaryAltered precipitation patterns associated with anthropogenic climate change are expected to have many effects on plants and insect pollinators, but it is unknown if effects on pollination are mediated by changes in water availability. We tested the hypothesis that impacts of climate on plant–pollinator interactions operate through changes in ...

Uni-directional Interaction and Plant–Pollinator–Robber Coexistence
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2012A mathematical model for the plant-pollinator-robber interaction is studied to understand the factors leading to the widespread occurrence and stability of such interactions. In the interaction, a flowering plant provides resource for its pollinator and the pollinator has both positive and negative effects on the plant.

The screening game in plant–pollinator interactions
Evolutionary Ecology, 2015A central question in the field of plant-pollinator interactions is whether and how can plants choose the optimal pollinators when plants cannot directly assess the quality of floral visitors. To answer this question and to provide a new perspective to this problem, we develop a screening game modeling the plant-pollinator interaction.
