Cost of early flowering and a compensation mechanism in Primula atrodentata

In high-mountain habitats, early-spring flowering plants often face pollination limitation and risk reproductive failure due to pollinator scarcity. Our st

Preserved orchids show pollination has fallen 60% since the 1970s

"Most plants are flexible. If one pollinator disappears, another might fill the gap. But for many orchid species, there is no other pollinator."

"While widespread declines in pollinators have been documented in Europe and North America, equivalent evidence from Australasia is lacking." >>
