Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Presenting two anthers simultaneously decreased the pollen transfer efficiency of halictid bees compared with the natural treatment.
- Intervention effect Presenting two anthers simultaneously led to a similar pollen removal rate as the natural treatment.
- Intervention effect Presenting two anthers simultaneously significantly reduced pollen deposition on neighbouring stigmas.
- Intervention effect Pollen export decreased significantly when the central anther was moved away from the pistil.
- Intervention effect Retaining the five spent anthers on the pistil significantly reduced pollen deposition and seed set.
- Mechanism Movement herkogamy promotes pollen export, deposition and seed set.
