Pollen limitation in a single year is not compensated by future reproduction. [PDF]
Oecologia, 2020 Seed production is critical to the persistence of most flowering plant populations, but may be strongly pollen limited. To what extent long-lived plants can compensate pollen limitation by increasing future reproduction is poorly understood.

Demographic effects on fruit set in the dioecious shrub Canada buffaloberry (Shepherdia canadensis) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 The effects of pollen limitation on reproductive success in plants have been well-documented using pollen supplementation experiments. However, the role of local demographics in determining pollen limitation, particularly in terms of the additive and ...

Spatio-Temporal Variations in Pollen Limitation and Floral Traits of an Alpine Lousewort (Pedicularis rhinanthoides) in Relation to Pollinator Availability [PDF]
Plants, 2022 Populations of the same plant species living in different locations but flowering at different times may vary in pollinator availability and floral traits.

Comparative effects of pollen limitation, floral traits and pollinators on reproductive success of Hedysarum scoparium Fisch. et Mey. in different habitats [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2021 Background Reproduction in most flowering plants may be limited because of the decreased visitation or activity of pollinators in fragmented habitats. Hedysarum scoparium Fisch. et Mey. is an arid region shrub with ecological importance.

Assessment of Pollen Limitation and Pollinators’ Contribution in Soybean (Glycine max) [PDF]
PlantsSoybean (Glycine max) is a predominantly self-pollinating crop; however, its flowers exhibit traits associated with insect pollination. While several studies report yield benefits from floral visitation, others suggest little or no effect, and few have ...

Evidence of widespread pollen limitation in diverse specialty crops on commercial farms [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceSpecialty crops (non-staple fruits and vegetables) have diverse pollination requirements and pollinator communities, yet production may be limited by pollen limitation.

GloPL, a global data base on pollen limitation of plant reproduction. [PDF]
Sci Data, 2018 Plant reproduction relies on transfer of pollen from anthers to stigmas, and the majority of flowering plants depend on biotic or abiotic agents for this transfer.

Meta-analysis of pollen limitation reveals the relevance of pollination generalization in the Atlantic forest of Brazil. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Despite the extensive knowledge of pollen limitation in angiosperms, its assessment within tropical forests is still limited. Especially lacking are large scale comparisons of species within this biome - one that is highly diverse but also becoming ...

Impact of floral characters, pollen limitation, and pollinator visitation on pollination success in different populations of Caragana korshinskii Kom. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 Caragana korshinskii Kom. has a significant function in desert-grassland revegetation in arid regions. Plant reproduction in arid regions can be restricted due to inadequate pollen receipt and reduced pollen transfer. An assessment of pollination success

Linking pollinator efficiency to patterns of pollen limitation: small bees exploit the plant-pollinator mutualism. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2018 Seemingly mutualistic relationships can be exploited, in some cases reducing fitness of the exploited species. In plants, the insufficient receipt of pollen limits reproduction.
