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.

本研究于莫哈韦沙漠（Mojave Desert）中开展实验，探究了灌木促进作用、两种人工植食作用（artificial herbivory）类型——食叶作用（folivory）与食花作用（florivory）——以及补充授粉对光滑黄冠菊（Malacothrix glabrata）的开花量与结籽量的影响。
