Generalist southern African temperate forest canopy tree species have distinct pollinator communities partially predicted by floral traits

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 5, May 2024.
Pollination systems of tall forest trees are poorly studied, resulting from the difficulties in observing pollinator activity at canopy level and great temporal variation in flower production. Here, we observed insect flower visitors, at canopy level, to four southern Afrotemperate forest tree species bearing small, white to green flowers in a large ...
