A global dataset shows that animal pollinators are crucial for reproduction in half of wild flowering plants.
Abstract Land use change, by disrupting the co-evolved interactions between plants and their pollinators, could be causing plant reproduction to limited pollen supply. Using a phylogenetically controlled meta-analysis on over 2200 experimental studies more than 1200 wild plants, we ask if land intensification is at global scales. Here report that reliant pollinators in urban settings are similarly pollinator-reliant other landscapes. Plants functionally specialized bee natural managed...
Abstract Plant reproduction relies on transfer of pollen from anthers to stigmas, and the majority flowering plants depend biotic or abiotic agents for this transfer. A key metric characterizing if receipt is insufficient limitation, which assessed by supplementation experiments. In a experiment, fruit seed production flowers exposed natural pollination compared that following hand either (i.e. manual outcross addition without bagging) outcrossing bagged flowers, excludes pollination. The...
Abstract Small populations may suffer more severe pollen limitation and result in Allee effects. Sex ratio also affect pollination reproduction success dioecious species, which is always overlooked when performing conservation reintroduction tasks. In this study, we investigated whether how population size sex affected the endangered Ottelia acuminata , a submerged species. We established experimental plots with increasing male ratio. observed insect visitation, estimated by...
Abstract Changes in environmental temperature affect multiple meiotic processes flowering plants. Polyploid plants derived from whole-genome duplication (WGD) have enhanced genetic plasticity and tolerance to stress but face challenges organizing segregating doubled chromosome sets. In this study, we investigated the impact of increased on male meiosis autotetraploid Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Under low mildly temperatures (5°C–28°C), irregular segregation universally occurred...
Pollinator-mediated selection is supposed to influence floral integration. However, the potential pathway through which pollinators drive integration needs further investigations. We propose that pollinator proboscis length may play a key role in evolution of first assessed divergence traits 11 Lonicera species. Further, we detected and eight on then used phylogenetic structural equation models (PSEMs) illustrate Results PCA indicated species significantly differed traits. Floral increased...
Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) offers unique neural data from in-depth brain structures with fine temporal resolutions to better investigate the origin of epileptic activities. Although oscillatory patterns different frequency bands and functional connectivity computed SEEG datasets are employed study zones, direct electrical stimulation-evoked electrophysiological recordings synaptic responses, namely cortical-cortical evoked potentials (CCEPs), same electrodes not explored for...
A small or sparse population may suffer a reduction in fitness owing to Allee effects. Here, we explored effects of plant density on pollination, reproduction and predation the alpine herb Pedicularis rex over two years. We did not detect significant difference pollination rate fecundity (fruit set initial seed set) before between dense patches either year, indicating no pollination-driven effect. However, experienced significantly fewer attacks by predispersal predators both years,...
Abstract: There has been substantial debate in recent years surrounding the impact of introduced honeybees on native biota. This study reports an investigation Pedicularis densispica , a subalpine annual herb endemic to Southwest China, attempt determine domestic pollen dispersal and thus their reproductive success mating system. Honeybees were into site 2004, sudden seasonal pollinator shift from bumblebees was observed. Intra‐ inter‐plant visits by different pollinators recorded field 2003...
Background Flowering synchrony and floral sex ratio have the potential to influence mating opportunities reproductive success through female function. Here, we examine variances in synchronous display of male function, flowers per day subsequently output small populations two monoecious plants, Sagittaria trifolia graminea. Methodology/Principal Finding We created plant size 2, 4, 10 20 recorded daily number blooming determine display, flowering index day. also harvested fruits, counted...
Abstract The human motor system has a hierarchical control during finger movements. non-primary cortex (premotor cortex, PM, and supplementary area, SMA) organizes planning, while the primary (M1) is responsible for execution. We utilized intracranial EEG’s high temporal spatial resolution to investigate how dynamics of high-gamma neural oscillations in hierarchically organized sub-regions, both pre-movement planning execution, correlated with reaction times (RTs) cued movement task. Our...
Plant specialization and pollination network structure play important roles in community assembly. Floral traits can mediate plant–pollinator interactions thus have impacts on nestedness modularity of network. When such are phylogenetically conserved, therefore, phylogeny should predict to similar degrees. Moreover, conserved structures were also found attributed syndrome or system. However, we still know little about the relation between network, especially under a phylogenetic framework....
