DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16179
Abstract: PREMISE Animal-pollinated plants face a high risk of pollen loss during its transfer. To limit the negative effect of pollen losses by pollen consumption and heterospecific transfer, plant species may adjust and stratify their pollen… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4631
Abstract: Abstract Wildflower strips (WFS) are increasingly used to counteract the negative consequences of agricultural intensification. To date, it is poorly understood how WFS promote flower visitation and pollination services in nearby insect‐pollinated crops. We therefore… read more here.

Geographic variation of reproductive traits and competition for pollinators in a bird‐pollinated plant

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5457
Abstract: Abstract Geographic variation in the reproductive traits of animal‐pollinated plants can be shaped by spatially variable selection imposed by differences in the local pollination environment. We investigated this process in Babiana ringens (Iridaceae), an enigmatic… read more here.

Reduced visitation to buzz‐pollinated Cyanella hyacinthoides in the presence of other pollen sources in the hyperdiverse Cape Floristic Region
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8784
Abstract: Abstract Many plant species have floral morphologies that restrict access to floral resources, such as pollen or nectar, and only a subset of floral visitors can perform the handling behaviors required to extract restricted resources.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jhm.12924
Abstract: Abstract Background During the COVID‐19 pandemic, hospitals did not allow caregiver visitation. Little is known about how caregivers' absence affected patients' care. Objective This study aimed to describe visitation restrictions' impact on patients and their… read more here.

Unexpectedly low paternal diversity is associated with infrequent pollinator visitation for a bird-pollinated plant.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-021-04906-x
Abstract: The behaviour of pollinators has important consequences for plant mating. Nectar-feeding birds often display behaviour that results in more pollen carryover than insect pollinators, which is predicted to result in frequent outcrossing and high paternal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00520-021-06183-z
Abstract: Family/caregiver visitation provides critical support for patients confronting cancer and is associated with positive outcomes. However, the COVID-19 pandemic brought historic disruptions including widespread visitation restrictions. Here, we characterize in-depth the visitor policies of NCI-designated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2017.06.032
Abstract: Abstract A key goal of protected areas is the conservation of biodiversity. Increasing visitation, however, can compromise ecological integrity. A fundamental conundrum is that if parks are to serve as our most pristine places, then… read more here.
