Natural land cover drives pollinator abundance and richness, leading to reductions in pollen limitation in cotton agroecosystems (2016, methodology): “richness) for collinearity, eliminating variables leading to VIF > 2 ( Myers,1990; Cariveau et al., 2004).”
Filling key gaps in population and community ecology (2007, methodology): “For example, path analyses have been used to evaluate the relative importance of seed predators and pollinators on plant fitness and floral characteristics (Cariveau et al. 2004).”
A mutualism's indirect costs: the most aggressive plant bodyguards also deter pollinators (2006, background): “For example, foliar herbivory can influence floral traits (Strauss 1997, Mothershead and Marquis 2000), and natural enemies can exert selection pressures that run counter to that exerted by pollinators (Gomez 2003, Cariveau et al. 2004).”
Ecological and evolutionary consequences of spatial and temporal variation in pre-dispersal seed predation (2007, background): “(C) Plant size Cariveau et al. (2004) Castilleja linariaefolia Plant height Positive (taller 1⁄4 more) – n.”
