Many insect species provide pollination services for flowering plants. However, the efficiency of various pollinator varies greatly due to differences in body size, foraging behavior, and visitation rate. Here, we investigated a generalist plant Hibiscus mutabilis, compared rate, five species. Our observations revealed that moth was relatively lower than all bee The length increased amount transferred pollen, larger bees tended remove more pollen from anthers deposit on stigmas, resulting...
To understand the reproductive strategies of typically introduced plant Hibiscus mutabilis and to compare pollination efficiency its different pollinators, we observed, measured, recorded flowering dynamics, floral traits, visiting insects H. mutabilis. Furthermore, compared body size, visitation rate, The results indicated that, despite exhibiting specialized moth characteristics based on similarities in flower features other moth-pollinated species, actually presented a generalized system....
