Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Dicentra cucullaria flowers were pollinated almost exclusively by Bombus bimaculatus queens.
- Observation Bombus queens emerged from hibernation phenologically synchronized with Dicentra cucullaria anthesis.
- Observation Pollen transfer in Dicentra cucullaria was effected mainly by the ventral side of the insect head and anterior thorax.
- Observation Pollen transfer in Dicentra cucullaria occurred to a lesser degree by the front and middle legs of the insect.
- Observation Lepidoptera and Diptera occasionally visiting Dicentra cucullaria flowers were ineffective in pollination.
- Observation Apis mellifera pollen-foraging workers regularly effected pollination of Dicentra cucullaria.
- Observation Apis mellifera, being an introduced species, shows no naturally developed pollination adaptation to Dicentra cucullaria.
- Observation Nectar spur perforation by B. affinis queens did not affect Dicentra cucullaria plant fertility.
- Observation Nectar spur perforation behavior was related only in part to forager tongue length.
