The plant epidermis is a multifunctional tissue playing important roles in water relations, defence and pollinator attraction. |
This moth, therefore, is a commensal in some populations and a mutualist in others, depending on the local assemblage of pollinator species. |
A single pollinator imports sufficient pollen into an individual fig to initiate a full complement of seeds. |
In addition, there are some interdependent relationships between flower and pollinator sizes. |
Perhaps the reason is that social bees, which are largely opportunistic, dominate pollinator faunas in northern regions. |
It was difficult to determine the duration of the staminate and pistillate phases in L. spicata because of pollinator activity. |
