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.
