- ItemOpen AccessVariation in pollination across a fragmented landscape at the Cape of Africa(2004) Pauw, Anton; Bond, William JIn this thesis I assessed the ability of established conservation areas to conserve plant-pollinator interactions. The study area was the species rich, but highly fragmented West Coast Lowlands of the Cape of Africa. I focused on the Nectarinia sunbird pollination system and the oil-collecting Rediviva bee pollination system. Before exploring the consequences of habitat fragmentation, it was necessary to study the natural history of the plant-pollinator interactions. Among 16 conservation areas, I studied variation in the pollination of Brunsvigia orientalis (Amaryllidaceae) by Nectarinia sunbirds.
