Pollination limitation or failure in plants can be attributed to absence of pollinators, failure of removal pollen to reach a recipient, poor quality or insufficient pollen quantity and dispersion of heterospecific pollen (Wilcock & Neiland, 2002), whereas resource limitation may be a reflection of the fitness costs associated with sexual reproduction in the previous season (Ackerman & Montalvo, 1990).
