• COMPETITION FOR COMPOSITION: LESSONS FROM NECTAR-FEEDING ANT COMMUNITIES (2004, background): “For instance, competition between nectarivores was implied by studies testing various optimal foraging models (Dreisig 1995, Ohashi and Yahara 2002).”
• Effects of floral display size and plant density on pollinator visitation rate in a natural population of Digitalis purpurea (2005, unknown): “Ohashi & Yahara (2002) compared pollinator behaviour in two populations of differing density of Cirsium purpuratum , and showed that plant visitation rate in relation to display size increased at a higher rate in the high-density stand.”
