Reproductive consequences of shrub association, artificial herbivory, and supplemental pollination for Malacothrix glabrata in the Mojave Desert.

We tested the effects of shrub facilitation, two types of artificial herbivory (folivory and florivory), and supplemental pollination on floral production and seed set of Malacothrix glabrata in the Mojave Desert.

本研究在莫哈韦沙漠（Mojave Desert）开展，检验了灌木促进作用（shrub facilitation）、两类人工植食作用（artificial herbivory）——即食叶作用（folivory）与食花作用（florivory）——以及辅助授粉（supplemental pollination）对光果沙漠蒲公英（Malacothrix glabrata）的花产量与结籽率的影响。
