Pollen limitation, species’ floral traits and pollinator visitation: different relationships in contrasting communities

Abstract: Failures in the process of pollen transfer among conspecific plants can severely impact female reproductive success. Thus, pollen limitation can cause selection on plant mating systems and floral traits. The relationships between pollen limitation and floral traits might be partly mediated by the quantity and identity of pollinator visits. However, very little is known about the relationship between pollinator visits and pollen limitation. We examined the relationships between pollen limitation and floral trai… Show more

“…Pollen limitation can cause selection on various floral traits (e.g. flowering duration, flower size, and number of flowers) (Ashman et al 2004;Parachnowitsch & Kessler 2010;Lázaro et al 2015). Therefore, floral traits other than flower size may also differ between lower and higher altitude populations in I. textori.…”

“…A broad meta-analysis found no difference in pollen-limitation levels for alpine and lowland species ([24], see also [25]); Wagner et al [26] recently established that nival flowers in the Tyrolean Central Alps are not pollinator-visitor limited. This could be because alpine species possess compensatory traits that allow them to deal with pollinator scarcity thereby decreasing pollen limitation [2730].…”
