Other claims from this paper (14)
- Observation Bidens pilosa var. radiata attracted greater pollinator diversity than the two more self-compatible Bidens taxa.
- Observation Bidens pilosa var. radiata attracted greater pollinator abundance than the two more self-compatible Bidens taxa.
- Observation BH floral volatiles contained 37 VOCs.
- Observation DL floral volatiles contained 33 VOCs.
- Observation SY floral volatiles contained 34 VOCs.
- Association VOC counts showed no discernible decreasing trend with increased self-pollination ability.
- Observation Eleven floral volatile compounds differed significantly among the three Bidens species.
- Observation The (E)-β-Ocimene proportion in BH floral volatiles was 18.31 ± 1.10%.
- Observation The (Z)-β-Ocimene proportion in BH floral volatiles was 33.93 ± 3.49%.
- Observation Combined ocimene content in BH was 52.24 ± 4.59%, significantly above DL at 1.72 ± 0.50%.
- Observation Combined ocimene content in BH was significantly above SY at 0.32 ± 0.19%.
- Intervention effect (Z)-β-Ocimene significantly attracted A. cerana in Y-tube assays.
- Mechanism The authors suggest the two ocimene isomers contribute to BH attractiveness to local pollinators.
- Association The authors infer stronger self-pollination ability reduces pollinator-attracting VOC content within Bidens.
