Influence of plant reproductive systems on the evolution of hummingbird pollination
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Many hummingbird‐pollinated plant species evolved from bee‐pollinated ancestors independently in many different habitats in North and South America. The mechanisms leading to these transitions are not completely understood.

Fruit set and yield of pear cultivars as affected by reduced bee pollination period
International Journal of Horticultural Science, 2009 Results of our experiments prove that pear is more or less sensitive to the reduced bee pollination period. However, the reaction (or the sensitivity) of cultivars may be different to the reduced bee pollination.

Pollination by Euglossine Bees [PDF]
Evolution, 1968 The relationships between some orchid flowers and male euglossine bees were first observed in Darwin's time (Criiger, 1865), but the peculiarities of these interactions have been recognized only within the last decade. Our knowledge of the relationships has increased greatly in recent years, especially through the efforts of Dodson (Dodson and Frymire,

Pollination: Influencing bee behaviour with caffeine
Current Biology, 2021 Plant secondary metabolites found in floral nectar can affect the behaviour of pollinating insects, but how these changes benefit plants directly is little understood. An experimental study with bumblebees shows that recalling a caffeine-enhanced odour memory can increase flower visitation.

Pollination services in the UK: how important are honeybees? [PDF]
, 2011 Pollination services are known to provide substantial benefits to human populations and agriculture in particular. Although many species are known to provide pollination services, honeybees (Apis mellifera) are often assumed to provide the majority of ...
