Plant-pollinator systems may be considered as biological markets in which pollinators choose between different flowers that advertise their nectar/pollen rewards. Although expected to play a major role structuring plant-pollinator interactions, community-wide patterns of flower scent signals remain largely unexplored. Here we show for the first time advertisement is higher plant species bloom early flowering period when are scarce relative than blooming later season there surplus flowers. We...
Species flower production and flowering phenology vary from year to due extrinsic factors. Inter-annual variability in patterns may have important consequences for attractiveness pollinators, ultimately, plant reproductive output. To understand the of pattern variability, a community approach is necessary because pollinator choice highly dependent on context. Our objectives were: 1) quantify yearly density phenology; 2) evaluate whether changes result significant pollen/nectar composition....
