dc.description.abstract | We measured rates of visitation by potential pollinators and flower density for populations of Caltha palustris from a moist understory habitat and of Aralia nudicaulis from a species-rich open field habitat. Regression analysis of visitation rate as a function of flower density gave statistical data which was used to compare the effect of patch density on pollinator visitation in the two contrasting habitats. A second, more controlled study utilized artificial patches of Syringa vulgaris in order to further quantify visitation rate and density, and was analyzed in a similar fashion. The results of the study show that pollinator visitation in uniformly dispersed floral communities is more dependent on flower density, than it is in a clumped less species-diverse habitat. | en_US |
