    • 2006, Nickolas M. Waser, ‎Jeff Ollerton, Plant-Pollinator Interactions: From Specialization to Generalization:
      How does an oligolege respond if its pollen hosts fail to bloom? Most oligoleges have one generation per year (univoltine), so adult emergence can and must synchronize with host bloom (e.g., Cane and Payne 1993).
