Pollination Efficiency and the Evolution of Specialized Deceptive Pollination Systems [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Naturalist, 2010
The ultimate causes of evolution of highly specialized pollination systems are little understood. We investigated the relationship between specialization and pollination efficiency, defined as the proportion of pollinated flowers relative to those that experienced pollen removal, using orchids with different pollination strategies as a model system ...

Natural hazard threats to pollinators and pollination

Global Change Biology, 2019
AbstractNatural hazards are naturally occurring physical events that can impact human welfare both directly and indirectly, via shocks to ecosystems and the services they provide. Animal‐mediated pollination is critical for sustaining agricultural economies and biodiversity, yet stands to lose both from present exposure to natural hazards, and future ...

Pollination and Restoration

Science, 2009
Pollination services underpin sustainability of restored ecosystems. Yet, outside of agri-environments, effective restoration of pollinator services in ecological restoration has received little attention. This deficiency in the knowledge needed to restore pollinator capability represents a major liability in restoration programs, particularly in ...

Plant–pollinator networks: adding the pollinator’s perspective

Ecology Letters, 2009
Abstract Pollination network studies are based on pollinator surveys conducted on focal plants. This plant‐centred approach provides insufficient information on flower visitation habits of rare pollinator species, which are the majority in pollinator communities.

Signaling in pollination

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 1999
The past year has seen considerable advances in our understanding of signaling in pollen tubes. Evidence suggesting that lipids are involved in pollen tube guidance has opened up new avenues. Major advances have been made in understanding the roles of Rho-like GTPases and protein kinases in regulating pollen tube growth.

Orchid pollination by sexual deception: pollinator perspectives

Biological Reviews, 2010
The extraordinary taxonomic and morphological diversity of orchids is accompanied by a remarkable range of pollinators and pollination systems. Sexually deceptive orchids are adapted to attract specific male insects that are fooled into attempting to mate with orchid flowers and inadvertently acting as pollinators.
