Insect Pollinators Frequenting Strawberry Blossoms and the Effect of Honey Bees on Yield and Fruit Quality1

Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 1974
Abstract Open plots of strawbery ( Fragaria sp.) or plots caged with colonies of honey bees ( Apis mellifera L.) produced less malformed fruit than plots screened to exclude large insects. Bees and large Diptera, mostly drone flies (

Proximity to wind turbines altered plant–pollinator dynamics in prairie and sagebrush ecosystems in Wyoming, USA

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Wind turbines influence several abiotic conditions in the environments they are sited in and may influence the behavior and movement of insect pollinators. It is unknown how operating turbines influence plant–pollinator interactions. To investigate if pollination dynamics could be affected by the presence of wind turbines, we recorded videos of ...
