Predicting plant–pollinator interactions: concepts, methods, and challenges
Plant–pollinator interactions are ecologically and economically important, and, as a result,
their prediction is a crucial theoretical and applied goal for ecologists. Although various …

Community-wide patterns in pollen and ovule production, their ratio (P/O), and other floral traits along an elevation gradient in southwestern China
Background As the male and female gametophytes of flowering plants, pollen and ovules
largely determine the upper and lower boundaries of plant reproductive success. It is …

A Probabilistic View of Forbidden Links: Their Prevalence and Their Consequences for the Robustness of Plant–Hummingbird Communities
The presence in ecological communities of unfeasible species interactions, termed
forbidden links, due to physiological or morphological exploitation barriers has been long …

Are floral traits and their phenotypic variability related to plants with generalized or specialized pollination systems? A community perspective
Flower traits under selection by specialized pollinators may experience a decrease in their
phenotypic variation. Another viewpoint suggests that flower traits of plants under selection …

Bumble bee diet breadth increases with local abundance and phenophase duration, not intraspecific variation in body size
Patterns of abundance across space and time, and intraspecific variation in body size, are
two species attributes known to influence diet breadth and the structure of interaction …

Relative stable interannual variation in plant–plant pollen transfer rather than the plant–pollinator network of a subalpine meadow
Q Fang, S Guo, T Zhang, X Tang - Journal of Plant Ecology, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Previous studies have shown that plant–pollinator mutualistic interactions experience highly
interannual variation. Given that pollinators often move across multiple plant species, the …
