A general framework for effectiveness concepts in mutualisms
A core interest in studies of mutualistic interactions is the 'effectiveness' of mutualists in
providing benefits to their partners. In plant‐animal mutualisms it is widely accepted that the …

The potential for indirect effects between co‐flowering plants via shared pollinators depends on resource abundance, accessibility and relatedness
Co‐flowering plant species commonly share flower visitors, and thus have the potential to
influence each other's pollination. In this study we analysed 750 quantitative plant–pollinator …

Investigating the impacts of field‐realistic exposure to a neonicotinoid pesticide on bumblebee foraging, homing ability and colony growth
The ability to forage and return home is essential to the success of bees as both foragers
and pollinators. Pesticide exposure may cause behavioural changes that interfere with these …

Butterflies visit more frequently, but bees are better pollinators: the importance of mouthpart dimensions in effective pollen removal and deposition
B Barrios, SR Pena, A Salas, S Koptur - AoB Plants, 2016 - academic.oup.com
Pollination studies often use visitation frequency of potential pollinators as an indicator of
their importance, but this is only one component and may not reflect actual pollen transfer …

Spatiotemporal variation in the pollination systems of a supergeneralist plant: is Angelica sylvestris (Apiaceae) locally adapted to its most effective pollinators?
Abstract Background and Aims In terms of pollination systems, umbellifers (plants of the
carrot family, Apiaceae) are regarded as generalists, since their (usually dichogamous) …
