A long-term survey (1990–2000) of pollination modes of 86 tree species was carried out at Kakachi, a mid-elevation wet forestsite in southern Western Ghats, India. Observations were made on 86 tree species. This comprises 80% of the total arborescent speciespresent in the site. Approximately 75% of these species were specialized to a single pollinator group such as bee, beetle, or moth.Pollinators from diverse groups pollinate the remaining 25% of the tree species. Global comparison with other wet forest sites showedthat diversity and specialized pollination modes observed in Kakachi bore closer resemblance to other lowland than montane forestsites described so far. However, the number of pollinators involved in pollination was comparable with montane sites. We examinethe consequences that might have led to selection of the observed pollination modes in Kakachi. We discuss the conservation impli-cations of these results.
