How do belowground organisms influence plant–pollinator interactions? (2015, positive): “2008), further modifying effects on plant fitness through direct damage or indirectly by changing pollinator preference (Irwin et al. 2010; McCall and Irwin 2006).”
Insect pollinators collect pollen from wind‐pollinated plants: implications for pollination ecology and sustainable agriculture (2018, background): “Some studies have considered antagonistic (+ ) plant–pollinator interactions where the pollinator benefits from floral resources at the expense of the plant’s fitness or reproduction; for example, nectar/pollen theft without pollinating (Inouye, 1980; Hargreaves et al., 2009; Irwin et al., 2010).”
Consequences of a nectar yeast for pollinator preference and performance (2017, background): “Nectar can also attract non-pollinating flower visitors, both seen and unseen, who exploit nectar for their own benefit at the potential expense of the plant and competing legitimate flower visitors (Adler & Bronstein 2004; Herrera, Garc ıa & P erez 2008; Irwin et al. 2010).”
