Indirect effects of an introduced ungulate on pollination and plant reproduction (2004, background): “To our knowledge, previous studies of indirect effects of herbivores on plant reproduction have considered interaction modification indirect effects, involving effects of herbivores on individual floral traits such as flowering phenology (Brody 1997), flower number (Karban and Strauss 1993, Quesada ”
The Ecology of Seeds: References (2005, background): “In at least one case, however, visitation rates by pollinators were found to be higher in sparser populations, but this was probably due to the individual inflorescences being greater in the more widely spaced plants (Mustajarvi et al., 2001).”
Reproductive success and pollinator effectiveness differ in common and rare Persoonia species (Proteaceae) (2005, background): “Small isolated populations are expected to have altered pollinator behaviour and movement, as well as decreased pollinator visitation rates (Aizen and Feinsinger, 1994; Mustajarvi et al., 2001).”
Reduced reproductive success in small populations of the self‐incompatible Primula vulgaris (2004, background): “Insufficient quantity and quality of pollen may therefore reduce the number of fruits per plant and seeds per fruit (Klinkhamer & de Jong 1990; Cresswell 1997; Kwak et al. 1998; Mustajärvi et al. 2001).”
A land for flowers and bees: studying pollination ecology in Mediterranean communities (2005, background): “Empirical evidence from artificially established populations has shown that visitation rate can increase in small populations, but pollinators prefer large populations (Mustajärvi et al., 2001).”
