Commercialized European bumblebee can cause pollination disturbance: An experiment on seven native plant species in Japan (2007, background): “In general, the relationship between pollinators and plants ranges from one-to-one to many-to-many, but the majority of plants utilize a certain range of plural pollinators (Johnson and Steiner, 2000; Waser et al., 1996).”
Invasion of pollination networks on oceanic islands: importance of invader complexes and endemic super generalists (2002, background): “For example, see Jordano (1987), Elberling & Olesen (1999), Memmott (1999), Kanstrup & Olesen (2000), Olesen (2000), and Olesen & Jordano (2002). Here, level of generalization refers to number of species interactions and was compared both at species and network level.”
A multivariate search for pollination syndromes among penstemons (2004, background): “Still, if one considers only the remaining minority of complex flowers, syndrome characterizations seem highly explanatory (Fulton and Hodges 1999, Johnson and Steiner 2000 ).”
Effects of livestock grazing on pollination on a steppe in eastern Mongolia (2008, background): “This generalization is valid perhaps worldwide in anthropogenic ecosystems (Johnson and Steiner, 2000).”
Radiation of Pollination Systems in the Cape Genus Tritoniopsis (Iridaceae: Crocoideae) and the Development of Bimodal Pollination Strategies (2005, background): “The distribution of specialist versus generalist pollination systems is also taxonomically linked, with families such as Asteraceae and Ranunculaceae occupying the generalist end of the continuum and Apocynaceae and Orchidaceae occupying the specialist end (Johnson and Steiner 2000).”
Phylogeny and Historical Biogeography of Geraniaceae in Relation to Climate Changes and Pollination Ecology (2008, background): “In Southern Africa, several other specialised pollination systems, involving long-tongued insects, have been reported (Table 3; Johnson and Steiner 2000; Goldblatt and Manning 2006).”
Thrips Pollination of the Central Australian Cycad, Macrozamia macdonnellii (Cycadales) (2001, background): “Certainly the “syndrome” concept in pollination studies can be misleading (Kirk 1997), copollination by more than one class of pollinator being common on many plants (Johnson and Steiner 2000).”
