Effects of fragmentation on pollinator assemblage, pollen limitation and seed production of Mediterranean myrtle (Myrtus communis) (2009, background): “2009), makes difficult detecting effects of inbreeding depression in seed production ( Husband and Schemske, 1996 ).”
Reproductive Assurance and the Evolution of Pollination Specialization (2007, background): “…specialization and pollinator generalization (Larson and Barrett 2000), and the most inclusive review of pollen limitation conducted to date (Knight et al. 2005) found that pollen limitation was negatively associated with the number of pollinators per plant species (classified as one, few,…”
Local habitat characteristics but not landscape urbanization drive pollinator visitation and native plant pollination in forest remnants (2013, background): “…visitation patterns in response to habitat loss can decrease pollination success by reducing the quantity or quality of pollen transferred or altering plant mating patterns (Aizen and Harder, 2007; Knight et al., 2005; Ward and Johnson, 2005; Washitani et al., 1994; Cheptou and Avendano, 2006).”
Stability of pollination services decreases with isolation from natural areas despite honey bee visits. (2011, background): “Pollen limitation has also been found to be common within natural areas (Knight et al. 2005), and habitat fragmentation has been found to negatively affect pollination and reproduction of wild plants (Aguilar et al.”
Long-term global trends in crop yield and production reveal no current pollination shortage but increasing pollinator dependency. (2008, positive): “, the percent of species that do not express their full reproductive potential in terms of fruit or seed set when pollination is limited) is relatively high among cultivated plants, w60%, similar to the incidence observed in wild species [17, 18].”
Evolutionary changes in plant reproductive traits following habitat fragmentation and their consequences for population fitness (2012, background): “through reduced pollen deposition or lower pollen quality (Ashman et al. 2004; Knight et al. 2005; Aguilar et al. 2006; Yang, Ferrari & Shea 2011).”
Disentangling the drivers of context‐dependent plant–animal interactions (2014, background): “…on plant abundance and distribution is fundamental to ecology, yet much less attention has been given to how interactions affect population-level attributes compared with how interactions impose selection on traits and affect the fitness of individuals (Knight et al. 2005; Maron & Crone 2006).”
The Ecological and Evolutionary Consequences of Clonality for Plant Mating (2010, background): “…pollen does not limit seed set, because compatible mates are available and pollinators abundant, (that is, no pollen limitation; Aizen & Harder 2007, Knight et al. 2005), self-incompatibility reduces the female costs of geitonogamous pollination by preventing the production of inbred offspring.”
Organic dairy farming: impacts on insect–flower interaction networks and pollination (2011, positive): “For plants, inadequate pollination services can lead to pollen limitation which can result in reduced seed ⁄ fruit set (Knight et al. 2005).”
Wild pollinator communities are negatively affected by invasion of alien goldenrods in grassland landscapes (2009, background): “Another possible explanation is that some of the wild pollinators do not recognize this non-native plant as a potentially-to-be-preferred food plant (Knight et al., 2005).”
Mutualisms with the wreckage of an avifauna: the status of bird pollination and fruit- dispersal in New Zealand (2010, positive): “ln(hand-crossed /natural)) and compared these against a global compilation of 482 studies (Knight et al. 2005).”
Community structure of pollination webs of Mauritian heathland habitats (2009, background): “It has been shown that spatial isolation on the level of neighbouring plant species has resulted in reproductive decline for a variety of plants (Ghazoul, 2005; Knight et al., 2005; but see Feinsinger et al., 1986).”
