analysis detection global patterns plant required studies synthetic truly
This is truly a synthetic work. Our detection of global patterns required the simultaneous analysis of many studies conducted independently by plant ecologists all over the world.
due exhibit fruit global greater lower observed pattern plant production reduction regions species
The global pattern we observed suggests that plant species in species-rich regions exhibit a greater reduction in fruit production due to insufficient pollination than plant species in regions of lower biodiversity.
detect existed experiment field last low needed pattern problem transfer
We don't know how long this pattern has existed because the kind of field experiment needed to detect the problem of low pollen transfer has been conducted by ecologists only for the last 25-30 years or so.
