AB We studied pollen flow and reproductive success in two different-density stands of Cistus libanotis, a selfincompatiblespecies. The pollinator spectrum comprised Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, and Diptera, but theirrelative frequencies at the flowers differed between stands. The pollen loads carried by insect visitors werefrom a considerable number of plant species (up to 11 species) apart from C. libanotis. Hymenoptera showedthe highest activity rate and the highest flower visitation rate and carried by far the highest number of bothtotal pollen grains and C. libanotis pollen grains. These factors indicate that Hymenoptera are the mosteffective pollinators and the major contributors to C. libanotis reproductive success. Nevertheless, consideringthe insect species, a dipteran, the syrphid Eristalis tenax appears to be more effective than some Hymenopteraon the basis of its C. libanotis–pollen carrying ability. Fluorescent dust dispersal indicated that the neighborhoodarea for pollen dispersal was different among stands and could change during the flowering season. Consideringthe reproductive output over the flowering season, differences in pollinator spectrum and in pollen flow amongstands did not affect the reproductive success of C. libanotis individuals; both fruit and seed set were similaramong stands.
