Pollination and other ecosystem services produced by mobile organisms: a conceptual framework for the effects of land-use change. (2007, positive): “, meaning that untreated individuals set fewer fruits or seeds than experimental plants supplemented with cross-pollen (62–73% of cases reviewed, Burd 1994; Ashman et al. 2004).”
Alien pollen grains interfere with the reproductive success of native congener (2010, background): “For most flowering plants, sufficient pollen availability through animal pollinators is an essential process in their reproductive success (Stanton et al. 1986; Burd 1994; Corbet 1998; Ashman et al. 2004; Bell et al. 2005).”
Ecological and life-history traits predict bee species responses to environmental disturbances (2010, background): “Between 62% and 75% of flowering plants rely on animal pollinators for sexual reproduction (Burd, 1994; Ashman et al., 2004), an estimated 76% of crop species used by humans benefit in production from animal pollination, (mostly by insects) (Klein et al.”
Function and Evolution of Aggregated Pollen in Angiosperms (2008, background): “More generally, in his review of pollen limitation, Burd (1994) included data for species from 14 of the families listed in table 1, and pollen limitation was detected in 12 of these families.”
Floral diversity and the facilitation of pollination (2006, background): “Many plant populations do, however, appear to be pollinator limited (Burd 1994; Wilcock & Neiland 2002), and the pollination-mediated Allee effects that have repeatedly been demonstrated in small or isolated populations (Groom 1998; Ghazoul 2005) imply competition for pollinator services.”
The decline of the bumble bees and cuckoo bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Bombini) of Western and Central Europe (2007, background): “Similarly, .80% of all wild plant species depend on insect pollination and .60% of plant species show pollination limitation (Burd, 1994).”
How does plant richness affect pollinator richness and temporal stability of flower visits (2008, background): “Pollinators provide a major ecosystem service through their key role in the reproduction of most plant species (Burd 1994, Fontaine et al. 2006, Klein et al. 2007).”
Effects of fragmentation on pollinator assemblage, pollen limitation and seed production of Mediterranean myrtle (Myrtus communis) (2009, background): “Fragmentation usually leads to a correlated decrease in plant population size, and plant species occurring at low population size or density are more sensitive to pollen limitation, defined as a lower fruit and seed production caused by a scarce pollen receipt (Burd, 1994).”
Importance of pollinators in changing landscapes for world crops (2007, background): “…(McGregor 1976; Crane& Walker1984; Free 1993; Williams1994; Nabhan& Buchmann 1997; Westerkamp & Gottsberger 2000) and the majority of wild plants (Burd 1994; Kearns et al. 1998; Larson & Barrett 2000; Ashman et al. 2004), which can also be important for providing calories and micronutrients…”
Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, neutral): “The transcript abundance was normalized against peanut Ubiquitin (Luo et al. , 2005) transcript levels.”
Changes in pollinator fauna cause spatial variation in pollen limitation (2010, background): “…of pollen limitation for plant populations and communities have been intensely explored during the last decades, both empirically (see reviews by Burd 1994; Larson & Barrett 2000; Ashman et al. 2004; Knight et al. 2005; Knight, Steet & Ashman 2006; Garcı́a-Camacho & Totland 2009) and…”
