Pollination and other ecosystem services produced by mobile organisms: a conceptual framework for the effects of land-use change. (2007, unknown): “When ﬂoral resources are limited, plant species that offer relatively high rewards should outcompete less rewarding plant species (see Cartar 2004) and receive more frequent and consistent visitation by generalist pollinators.”
Drought stress alters floral volatiles and reduces floral rewards, pollinator activity, and seed set in a global plant (2020, background): “Pollinators can learn the location of rewarding flowers and can also learn to associate visual and olfactory signals with more rewarding plants, thus using these cues to facilitate decision-making (Cartar 2004, Knauer and Schiestl 2015).”
How does plant richness affect pollinator richness and temporal stability of flower visits (2008, background): “2001, Thompson 2001, Cartar 2004), which affects pollinators (Cartar 2004).”
Crop flower visitation by honeybees, bumblebees and solitary bees: Behavioural differences and diversity responses to landscape (2013, background): “If spatial variation in nectar availability is independent of the distance from the field edge (i.e. due to response to soil moisture and nutrient availability), then pollinator abundance may track this resource resulting in an absence of an edge effect (Cartar, 2004).”
