Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Seed production after emasculation in netted flowers indicated wind pollination.
- Intervention effect A single bumblebee visit to bagged flowers produced fewer seeds than one visit to netted flowers or control flowers.
- Intervention effect Netted flowers had fewer seeds than control flowers.
- Intervention effect Netted flowers had lower fruit set than controls.
- Mechanism The authors infer wind contributes supplementary pollen to unvisited or once-visited flowers.
- Observation Wind accounts for only a small share of seed production relative to bumblebee pollination.
