The relative contributions of insect and bird pollinators to outcrossing in an African Protea (Proteaceae).

American journal of botany - 1 Jun 2012

Steenhuisen Sandy-Lynn, Van der Bank Herman, Johnson Steven D

Abstract excerpt

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: A useful, but seldom applied, measure of the effectiveness of different pollinators is their contribution to the rate of outcrossing. This measure is particularly useful in facultatively autogamous plants for which seed set cannot be used as a direct measure of pollinator effectiveness. We used selective exclusion experiments to assess the importance of insects for outcrossing in Protea...
