Investigation of Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.)–Insect Pollinator Interactions Aiming to Increase Cowpea Yield and Define New Breeding Tools

Ecologies, 2023
Impact of pollination on the agri-food sector is of paramount importance. Pollinators contribute to the maintenance of ecosystems, the reproduction and survival of many plants, and their presence usually leads to increased yield and quality of ...

In planta localisation patterns of MADS domain proteins during floral development in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]

, 2009
Background: MADS domain transcription factors play important roles in various developmental processes in flowering plants. Members of this family play a prominent role in the transition to flowering and the specification of floral organ identity. Several

Reduced visitation to buzz‐pollinated Cyanella hyacinthoides in the presence of other pollen sources in the hyperdiverse Cape Floristic Region

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Many plant species have floral morphologies that restrict access to floral resources, such as pollen or nectar, and only a subset of floral visitors can perform the handling behaviors required to extract restricted resources.

Preliminary Assessment of Foraging Behavior of Bombus haemorrhoidalis Smith in Doon Valley, Uttarakhand, India

Biology and Life Sciences Forum, 2022
Pollination and pollinators are major keys in the working of almost all terrestrial ecosystems. Bumblebees are the key pollinators belonging to the family Apidae.

Fertilizer and herbicide alter nectar and pollen quality with consequences for pollinator floral choices [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Background Pollinating insects provide economically and ecologically valuable services, but are threatened by a variety of anthropogenic changes. The availability and quality of floral resources may be affected by anthropogenic land use.

The effect of polyploidy and hybridization on the evolution of floral colour in Nicotiana (Solanaceae). [PDF]

, 2015
Speciation in angiosperms can be accompanied by changes in floral colour that may influence pollinator preference and reproductive isolation. This study investigates whether changes in floral colour can accompany polyploid and homoploid hybridization ...

Characterizing the nectar microbiome of the non-native tropical milkweed, Asclepias curassavica, in an urban environment.

PLoS ONE, 2020
In increasingly urban landscapes, the loss of native pollen and nectar floral resources is impacting ecologically important pollinators. Increased urbanization has also brought about the rise of urban gardens which introduce new floral resources that may

Capturing hedgerow structure and flowering abundance with UAV remote sensing

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Hedgerows are an abundant and ecologically important feature of many rural areas. Their biodiversity value depends on composition, structure and availability of food resources, which can be significantly impacted by poor management.
