Pollen dispersal and fruit production in Vaccinium oxycoccos and comparison with its sympatric congener V. uliginosum
Abstract
Pollen dispersal and fruit production were investigated in the insect-pollinated bog cranberry Vaccinium oxycoccos and compared with its sympatric congener V. uliginosum. Fluorescent-dye experiments showed mainly short-distance pollen dispersal and pollinator sharing, informing the reproductive biology and conservation of fragmented V. oxycoccos populations.
