Resolving the identity and breeding habitats of cryptic dipteran cacao flower visitors in a neotropical cacao agroforestry system

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2023
Determining the main pollinators and the factors that control their abundance is a prerequisite for improving the production of many crops, including the globally important cash crop cacao (Theobroma cacao L.). Yet, the identity and the breeding habitats

Duodichogamy and androdioecy in the Chinese Phyllanthaceae Bridelia tomentosa [PDF]

, 2007
Flowering plants commonly separate male and female function in time, but rarely are the two stages synchronized within and among individuals. One such temporal mating system is duodichogamy in which each plant produces two batches of male flowers that ...

Potential pollinators of understory populations of Symphonia globulifera in the Neotropics.

Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2018
One difference between the forest canopy and the understory is that animals pollinate the majority of understory species in the tropical wet forest. Pollinators active in the understory are also different from those in the forest canopy and are adapted ...

Beyond biodiversity: does “Farming with Alternative Pollinators” also boost farmers’ income in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) fields? a case study in Morocco

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
The importance of flower visitors for ecosystem resilience and crop production underscores the need to address the current decline of flower visitors worldwide.

Cacao flower visitation: Low pollen deposition, low fruit set and dominance of herbivores

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2022
Pollination services of cacao are crucial for global chocolate production, yet remain critically understudied, particularly in regions of origin of the species.

Impact of urbanization on predator and parasitoid insects at multiple spatial scales [PDF]

, 2019
Landscapes are becoming increasingly urbanized, causing loss and fragmentation of natural habitats, with potentially negative effects on biodiversity. Insects are among the organisms with the largest diversity in urbanized environments.

Automated 24-h surveys of flower-visiting communities reveal temporal complementarities and overlaps among strawberry pollinators

Global Ecology and Conservation
Differences in flower visitor functional traits, such as time of day of activity or foraging behaviour, allow for complementary contributions to pollination services. These traits vary among flower visitors due both to differing physiological constraints

Assessing flower‐visiting arthropod diversity in apple orchards through metabarcoding of environmental DNA from flowers and visual census

Environmental DNA, 2023
Arthropods are essential in maintaining healthy and productive agricultural ecosystems. Agricultural crops such as apples are typically pollinated by domesticated honey bees, but wild bees and other arthropod flower visitors also contribute to ...
