Plant Phenology And Distribution In Relation To Recent Climate Change (2008, background): “Kudo et al. (2004) showed that seed set in two beepollinated spring ephemerals declined in a warm year.”
Habitat-specific responses in the flowering phenology and seed set of alpine plants to climate variation: implications for global-change impacts (2005, background): “Seasonal changes in flowering schedule may change the availability of pollinators if phenological responses to global warming differ between plants and pollinators (Kudo et al. 2004; Inouye et al. 2000).”
Climate change and plant regeneration from seed (2011, background): “For example, seed sets in two bee-pollinated spring ephemerals decreased during an extremely warm spring in Japan but those in two fly-pollinated species were unaffected (Kudo et al., 2004).”
Precipitation and temperature are associated with advanced flowering phenology in a semi-arid grassland (2010, background): “Bee-pollinated spring wildflowers of deciduous forests set fewer seeds during warm springs when flowering was advanced (Kudo et al., 2004; Motten, 1986).”
Heterogeneous intra-annual climatic changes drive different phenological responses at two trophic levels (2008, background): “For example, spring ephemerals in a deciduous forest in Hokkaido, Japan, that are pollinated by bees and bumblebees (Hymenoptera) have dramatically lower seed-set in warm years because of pollen limitation (Kudo et al. 2004).”
Phenological responses of plants to climate change in an urban environment (2007, background): “Kudo et al. (2004) found that the 7–17 days’ advance of the opening of the first flowers in 1 year caused the seed-sets of some beepollinated ephemerals to decrease by more than half the usual level in northern Japan.”
Pollination and other ecosystem services produced by mobile organisms: a conceptual framework for the effects of land-use change. (2007, unknown): “…gas emissions may inﬂuence phenological and geographical range shifts for target plants and their pollinators, inﬂuencing whether mutualisms will persist or become spatially or temporally misaligned in the future (Parmesan et al. 1999; Fitter & Fitter 2002; Kudo et al. 2004; Gordo & Sanz 2005).”
Variable flowering phenology and pollinator use in a community suggest future phenological mismatch (2014, background): “, 2013) and observations (e.g. Wall et al., 2003; Kudo et al., 2004; Thomson, 2010; McKinney et al., 2012) using single species or small sets of species.”
How does climate warming affect plant-pollinator interactions? (2009, background): “In contrast, Kudo et al. (2004) found that early flowering plants in Japan advanced their flowering during a warm spring, whereas bumble bee queen emergence appeared unaffected by spring temperatures resulting in a decreased seed-set in bumble bee-pollinated plants.”
