Components of Pollinator "Quality": Comparative Analysis of a Diverse Insect Assemblage
Abstract
A total of 34 floral visitors of Lavandula latifolia (Labiatae) at a southern Spanish locality were examined from the perspective of their quality as pollinators. I considered frequency of pollen transfer, number of pollen grains deposited on the stigma, selection of floral sexual stage (flowers are markedly protandrous), and patterns of flight distance between flowers. Hymenoptera deposited more pollen and more often than Lepidoptera or Diptera. The latter two groups did not differ in this respect. Interspecific variation in frequency of pollen delivery depended on differences in proportional visitation to female-stage (receptive) flowers as well as total pollen delivery to these flowers. Lepidoptera tended to fly longer distances between consecutive flowers than Hymenoptera. Hand-pollination experiments demonstrate that variation among floral visitors in reproductive services rendered may translate into differential fitness of L. latifolia plants. Nevertheless, the potential for plant specialization on specific insects is constrained by counterbalancing variation in components of pollination quality.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
