Pollinator pollen carryover effectiveness and plants' ability to enhance it
Freudenfeld, Martin ; Janovský, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Mikát, Michael (referee)
Pollinators carry over pollen from one flower to another. They facilitate plant reproduction. Pollinator functional groups differ in their effectiveness of pollen carryover. Quantity of pollen grains on their body and deposition on stigma are very important. Pollinator carryover capacity depends on its functional traits. Body size, hairiness, visitation behaviour, foraging preferences, flower constancy and abundance of pollinators are significant. Plants can enhance effectiveness of their pollination by adaptations to specific pollinator functional groups. They improve positioning of pollen on pollinators by specific changes to floral morphology, quantity and size of pollen grains. They can also enhance the effectiveness through aggregation of pollen grains into groups or into pollinia or by optimisation of pollen release in time.
