Primes¶
- Symbiosis
- Obligacy: often facultative for generalist bees and flowers (both have alternatives) but obligate for specialist pairs (fig wasps depend on fig flowers, yucca moths depend on yucca plants for breeding); Bond (1994) shows that obligacy thresholds set the extinction risk when pollinators decline.
This sourceQuantifies how obligacy thresholds within plant–pollinator mutualisms set the extinction risk of dependent plant species when pollinators decline; the canonical reference for fitness-relevance of pollination symbioses.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
