Book
Plant-animal interactions : an evolutionary approach
Carlos M. Herrera,Olle Pellmyr +1 more
TL;DR: This book discusses species Interactions and the Evolution of Biodiversity, and the history of Associations between Plants and Animals, as well as plant-Animal Interactions in Terrestrial Ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recruitment of a Mast‐Fruiting, Bird‐Dispersed Tree: Bridging Frugivore Activity and Seedling Establishment
TL;DR: Spatial patterns of seed deposition by birds may have a lasting impact on the population dynamics of P. latifolia, but this will vary among populations depending on the extent of coupling of the different stages in the recruitment process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Components of pollinator "quality": comparative analysis of a diverse insect assemblage
TL;DR: Hand-pollination experiments demonstrate that variation among floral visitors in reproductive services rendered may translate into differential fitness of L. latifolia plants, and the potential for plant specialization on specific insects is constrained by counterbalancing variation in components of pollination quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Study of Avian Frugivores, Bird-Dispersed Plants, and Their Interaction in Mediterranean Scrublands
TL;DR: It is suggested that actual coevolution involving a smaller set of bird and plant species may facilitate the persistence of noncoevolving (or very slowly coevolving) plant species, thus favoring the existence of a chronic "anachronism load" (with regard to dispersal) in the plant community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in mutualisms : the spatio temporal mosaic of a pollinator assemblage
TL;DR: Variation in time (annual and seasonal) and space (between- and within-population) is examined for the pollinator assemblage of Lavandula latifolia, an insect-pollinated, summerflowering, evergreen shrub of Mediterranean woodlands in southeastern Spain, producing a spatio-temporal mosaic of pollinators.
