Plant-pollinator Interaction Data: A case study of the WorldFAIR project

open access: yesBiodiversity Information Science and Standards, 2022
Biodiversity is a data-intensive science and relies on data from a large number of disciplines in order to build up a coherent picture of the extent and trajectory of life on earth (Bowker 2000). The ability to integrate such data from different disciplines, geographic regions and scales is crucial for making better decisions towards sustainable ...

Plant-pollinator interactions along the pathway to paternity. [PDF]

open access: yesAnn Bot, 2019
The male fitness pathway, from pollen production to ovule fertilization, is thought to strongly influence reproductive trait evolution in animal-pollinated plants. This pathway is characterized by multiple avenues of pollen loss which may lead to reductions in male fitness.

Can plant hybridization and polyploidy lead to pollinator shift? [PDF]

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica, 2020
Events of both hybridization and polyploidy are capable of completely restructuring the genome, modifying phenotypic traits and affecting ecological interactions. For plants, these changes may affect floral traits that are important for interactions with

Brazilian Network on Plant-Pollinator Interactions: an update on the initiative of a standard for plant-pollinator interactions data [PDF]

open access: yesBiodiversity Information Science and Standards, 2018
The Brazilian Plant-Pollinator Interactions Network*1 (REBIPP) aims to develop scientific and teaching activities in plant-pollinator interaction. The main goals of the network are to: generate a diagnosis of plant-pollinator interactions in Brazil; integrate knowledge in pollination of natural, agricultural, urban and restored ...

Size and isolation of naturally isolated habitats do not affect plant-bee interactions: A case study of ferruginous outcrops within the eastern Amazon forest

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Pollination may be severely affected by the decreasing size and increasing isolation of habitat patches. However, most studies that have considered the effects of these two variables on plant-pollinator interactions have been carried out in areas that ...

Conspecific and heterospecific plant densities at small-scale can drive plant-pollinator interactions. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Generalist pollinators are important in many habitats, but little research has been done on small-scale spatial variation in interactions between them and the plants that they visit. Here, using a spatially explicit approach, we examined whether multiple

Conserving diversity in Irish plant–pollinator networks

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
Beneficial insects provide valuable services upon which we rely, including pollination. Pollinator conservation is a global priority, and a significant concern in Ireland, where over half of extant bee species have declined significantly in recent ...

Plant–pollinator interactions in a Mexican Acacia community [PDF]

open access: yesArthropod-Plant Interactions, 2007
Competition for pollination is thought to be an important factor structuring flowering in many plant communities, particularly among plant taxa with morphologically similar and easily accessible flowers. We examined the potential for heterospecific pollen transfer (HPT) in a community of four Acacia species in a highly seasonal tropical habitat in ...

The promise of genomics in the study of plant-pollinator interactions [PDF]

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2013
Flowers exist in exceedingly complex fitness landscapes, in which subtle variation in each trait can affect the pollinators, herbivores and pleiotropically linked traits in other plant tissues. A whole-genome approach to flower evolution will help our understanding of plant-pollinator interactions.
