Orchard layout and plant traits influence fruit yield more strongly than pollinator behaviour and density in a dioecious crop.

Mutualistic plant-pollinator interactions are critical for the functioning of both non-managed and agricultural systems. Mathematical models of plant-pollinator interactions can help understand key determinants in pollination success. However, most previous models have not addressed pollinator behav...
