• HERITABILITY OF NECTAR TRAITS: WHY DO WE KNOW SO LITTLE? (2004, background): “From the pollinator point of view, experimental manipulation of resource variability and distribution, and observation of how this affects visitor behavior is also a promising approach (e.g., Biernaskie et al. 2002).”
• Beyond floricentrism: The pollination function of inflorescences (2004, background): “In general, pollinators visit fewer flowers on displays with high versus low variance in nectar availability ( Biernaskie et al . 2002 ).”
• Mutualisms with the wreckage of an avifauna: the status of bird pollination and fruit- dispersal in New Zealand (2010, unknown): “Both birds and insects visit large floral displays on mass-flowering plants for much shorter bouts than expected (Augspurger 1980; Stephenson 1982; Frankie & Haber 1983; Biernaskie et al. 2002).”
