Sentence examples for pollination rates from inspiring English sources

Climate induced plant-pollinator mismatch can reduce pollination rates by creating a temporal mismatch in pollinator emergence and plant flowering times (Hegland et al., 2009).

Microclimatic factors such as ambient temperature, solar irradiance and wind speed can interact with a flower's morphological features to determine the intrafloral temperature and this can in turn influence pollination rates and the composition of various pollinators visiting the flowers [5], [49].

Organic farming is commonly associated with increased pollinator diversity and abundance, but the net effects on pollination rates are less documented.

Recently there has been concern over general global trends of reduced pollinator species abundance and diversity that are both predicted to reduce pollination rates to plants (Memmott et al., 2007; Potts et al., 2010).

However, reduced pollination rates in alpine plants are likely due to climate induced plant-pollinator mismatches and general declines in pollinators.

At least two future climate change scenarios predict that pollination rates will be directly reduced, and these are due to either pollinator declines (Potts et al., 2010) and/or plant-pollinator mismatches (Hegland et al., 2009).

A reduced density of pollinators in the next generation reduces the pollination rate and thus reduces the population growth rate of the focal plant.

During winter, the pollination rate of figs was low whereas in summer the size of the pollinating wasp population was great and the number of foundresses could reach 19 in one single fig. These data have been used to estimate the total population of female wasps living around the studied group of F. microcarpa trees in Taipei (Yang et al. [2013]).

Open pollination rate (OP-R) is considered to be the best rate of fruit sets for a variety.

The mean predicted crop pollination rate of sampled mothers was 10.4%.

Our model captures the limiting case in which the evolution of focal plant phenology is not constrained by temporal heterogeneity in background pollination rate.
