Urban drivers of plant‐pollinator interactions
Functional Ecology, 2015Summary Plant–pollinator interactions are affected by global change, with largely negative impacts on pollination and plant reproduction. Urban areas provide a unique and productive study system for understanding the impacts of many global change drivers on plant–pollinator interactions. We review the mechanistic pathways through which urban drivers

Coffee plant – pollinator interactions: a review
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2011Coffee (genus Coffea L.) is one of the most critical global agricultural crops. Many studies have focused on coffee plants and their associated insects. This review will summarize work specifically relating to coffee plant – pollinator interactions.

Integrating Studies on Plant–Pollinator and Plant–Herbivore Interactions
Trends in Plant Science, 2016Research on herbivore-induced plant defence and research on pollination ecology have had a long history of separation. Plant reproduction of most angiosperm species is mediated by pollinators, and the effects of herbivore-induced plant defences on pollinator behaviour have been largely neglected.

Impacts of non-native plants on plant-pollinator interactions.
2020Abstract There has been growing interest in the consequences of invasive non-native plants for the plant-pollinator mutualism, most likely because of its relevance for the maintenance of terrestrial biodiversity and food production. However, the development of this research field has been thematically uneven and the overall evidence ...

Plant–Pollinator Interactions and Flower Diversification
2016There is good evidence that plant–pollinator interactions and plant diversification rates are interrelated, although the actual mechanisms involved, and their relative importance, remain to be fully elucidated. In some groups, such as orchids, specialized relationships with pollinators may increase the likelihood of reproductive isolation between ...

Predicting plant–pollinator interactions: concepts, methods, and challenges
Trends in Ecology & EvolutionPlant-pollinator interactions are ecologically and economically important, and, as a result, their prediction is a crucial theoretical and applied goal for ecologists. Although various analytical methods are available, we still have a limited ability to predict plant-pollinator interactions.

Ecological patterns of plant–pollinator interactions in the Palouse Prairie
Environmental EntomologyAbstract Insect pollinators are essential for natural ecosystems. Without pollination, native plants are less likely to be able to persist. As natural ecosystems have become more fragmented and degraded, interest in their restoration and preservation has increased. Understanding the roles that individual plant and pollinator species play

Biochemical Basis of Plant-Pollination Interaction
2011Plants use chemical components to attract potential pollinators to visit flowers and facilitate the efficient transfer of pollen The Evolution of plant volatile production in pollination ecology and in pollinator-plant relationships has been discussed in this chapter.

Plant–pollinator interaction model with separate pollen and nectar dynamics
Journal of Theoretical BiologyThe mutualism between plants and pollinators involves the exchange between plant resources and pollen dispersal services among con-specific plants. Since many pollinators are generalist foragers, the quality of pollination is compromised by inter-specific pollen transfer (IPT).
