High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

Productivity and commercial classification of pitaya in orchard with pollination

open access: yesRevista Agrogeoambiental
Information related to the productivity and classification of pitaya allows the assessment of the need and planning of orchard pollination. The objective of this study was to evaluate the productivity and commercial classification of the pitaya ...

Linking Land Cover Data and Crop Yields for Mapping and Assessment of Pollination Services in Europe

open access: yesLand, 2013
Pollination is a key ecosystem service as many crops but in particular, fruits and vegetables are partially dependent on pollinating insects to produce food for human consumption.

Nocturnal pollination of Parkia velutina by Megalopta bees in Amazonia and its possible significance in the evolution of chiropterophily. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Canopy observations of the rain forest tree Parkia velutina (Leguminosae: Mimosoideae) in Amazonian Brazil indicate that it is pollinated by night-flying bees.

Interactions between maternal provisioning and natural selection on seed mass fluctuate across heat waves

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...

Effect of Simulated Autogamy and Allogamy on the Success of Cephalanthera longifolia and Cephalanthera rubra (Orchidaceae) Fruit Set

open access: yesDiversity
Detailed knowledge of reproductive traits and success is essential for the effective conservation of rare and endangered species. It has been reported that Cephalanthera longifolia and C.

Evidence of introgression amid phylogenetic conflict in Brachyotum, a plant radiation from the Tropical Andes

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The species‐rich flora of Tropical Andes underwent multiple rapid and recent diversifications, yet resolving their evolutionary histories remains challenging despite increasing phylogenomic data. Here, we examined phylogenomic conflict in Brachyotum (Melastomataceae) to identify sources preventing its resolution.

The effect of melliferous bee (Apis mellifera carnica poll) and mechanical means on seed yield, yield components and quality of alfalfa seed (Medicago sativa L) [PDF]

open access: yesSelekcija i Semenarstvo, 2005
Number of alfalfa pollinators in free pollination was investigated as well as effect of measures that promote pollination alfalfa (using sugar syrup and mechanical means).

Fruit set and yield of pear cultivars as affected by reduced bee pollination period

open access: yesInternational Journal of Horticultural Science, 2009
Results of our experiments prove that pear is more or less sensitive to the reduced bee pollination period. However, the reaction (or the sensitivity) of cultivars may be different to the reduced bee pollination.
