Minor technical comment re Ollerton et al. (2011)
Viewed 46 times
This is a minor point, but the statement of "over two thirds of flowering plants being dependent on pollinators to reproduce" is a little misleading. The figure we calculated is 87.5% of flowering plants using pollinators. Whilst this is certainly "over two thirds", it's also "over three quarters" and in fact "almost 90%".
It may seem like a minor, pedantic point, but I know from experience that some authors will cite your interpretation of the figure rather than going to the original source , and the mistake will be propagated.
