New evidence for mammal pollination of Protea species (Proteaceae) based on remote-camera analysis

2016-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Flower visitation by small mammals is difficult to observe directly on account of their sensitivity to human presence and the nocturnal activity of some species. Their role in pollination has, thus, been inferred mostly from analysis of fur and faecal pollen loads of field-trapped animals. The development of motion-activated remote cameras allows for unprecedented insights into natural behaviours of small mammals...
