• Pollination of Campanula rapunculus L. (Campanulaceae): How much pollen flows into pollination and into reproduction of oligolectic pollinators? (2005, background): “(Schemske and Fenster 1983, Cruzan 1986, Cruden 2000 ).”
• Assembling the Tree of the Monocotyledons: Plastome Sequence Phylogeny and Evolution of Poales1 (2010, background): “Indeed, several studies show that pollen delivery to conspecific stigmas drops rapidly with decreasing conspecific density in wind-pollinated taxa (Friedman & Barrett, 2009), and that such taxa have very high pollen:ovule ratios (Cruden, 1977, 2000).”
• REVISION OF GERANIUM SECTIONS AZORELLOIDA, NEOANDINA, AND PARAMENSIA (GERANIACEAE) (2002, background): “According to Cruden (2000) in autogamous species the mode is 2–2.5 Log P/O.”
• Insights from measuring pollen deposition: quantifying the pre-eminence of bees as flower visitors and effective pollinators (2017, background): “The range of values of SVD inevitably varies greatly between plants depending on how much pollen they produce and deliver to stigmas per flower, in turn partly also related to pollen grain size (reviewed by Cruden 2000).”
• Function and Evolution of Aggregated Pollen in Angiosperms (2008, background): “(Darwin 1877, pp. 288–289) Outcrossing species with monads typically produce more that 1000 pollen grains per ovule (Cruden 2000), which greatly exceeds the mean pollen : ovule ratios of 570 for 17 genera with tetrads or polyads, 166 for eight genera with viscin threads, and 10 for 23 genera with…”
