Sentence examples for pollination system from inspiring English sources

Agave inaequidens is self-incompatible, with a xenogamous pollination system, and bat pollinated.

Based on previous genetic studies, it is predicted to have higher dispersal potential and therefore low genetic structure in species with wind pollination system over species with insect pollinator system [ 33].

The pollen dispersal and mating patterns detected here indicated that habitat fragmentation did not have a negative impact on pollen movement in E. cavaleriei, possibly due to its generalist pollination system and the resilient foraging behavior of its pollinators in response to changes in landscape structure.

Silene latifolia and its pollinator, the noctuid moth Hadena bicruris, represent an open nursery pollination system wherein floral volatiles, especially veratrole (1, 2-dimethoxybenzene), lilac aldehydes, and phenylacetaldehyde are of key importance for floral signaling.

A relatively well understood pollination system is sexual deception in the European genus Ophrys, where mechanisms of pollinator attraction involve the mimicry of alkene patterns of female bees to sexually attract the male pollinators [ 17].

It is possible that the flower-produced alkenes are also involved in the attraction of the pollinator via false host- or mating signals, and future investigations on the pollination system in this species may also prove interesting.

The diversity of pollinators and pollination systems is striking.

Successful invasive plants such as Araujia sericifera usually either are capable of automatic self-pollination or maintain pollinator services by having generalized pollination systems to make use of local pollinators in the invaded range.

For female plants, and especially in nursery pollination systems, attractiveness to pollinators is risky because it is linked to seed predation [ 11, 12].

Hence, in both cases (pollinator 'infidelity' and fluctuations in pollinator populations) the natural selection favour shared pollination systems.

Orchids, in particular, have frequently evolved deceptive pollination systems, in which flowers attract pollinators by mimicking mating partners or oviposition sites without offering rewards (Schiestl, 2005).
