Pollination and floral biology of Adonis vernalis L. (Ranunculaceae) – a case study of threatened species

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
Although the knowledge of pollination systems of rare and threatened species is one of the principles for development of optimal conservation and management strategies, the data about their pollination requirements are scarce or incomplete.

The macroeconomic cost of catastrophic pollinator declines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We develop a computable general equilibrium (CGE) approach to assess the macroeconomic impacts of productivity shocks due to catastrophic losses of pollination ecosystem services at global and regional scales.

The breeding system and effectiveness of introduced and native pollinators of the endangered tropical tree Goetzea elegans (Solanaceae)

open access: yesJournal of Pollination Ecology, 2011
The impact of introduced species on native organisms is one of the main conservation concerns around the world. To fully understand the effect of introduced pollinators on native plants, it is important to know the reproductive biology of the focal ...

Typology in pollination biology: Lessons from an historical critique

open access: yesJournal of Pollination Ecology, 2011
Typological schemes that describe putative floral adaptations for pollinators have played a central role in pollination biology. In 1882 the prominent German botanist and Darwinist Hermann Müller commented critically on a precursor of modern versions of ...

Using citizen science to monitor pollination services [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
1. Pollination by insects is a vital ecosystem service and the need for its assessment is increasing in recognition and political pressure, but there are currently no large-scale systematic monitoring schemes in place to measure the direct provision of ...
