Insect floral visitors vary spatiotemporally and influence fruit production in mango orchards

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 1121-1136, December 2025.
Native stingless bees (Tetragonula spp.) were the most abundant flower visitors in mango orchards, and their visitation sharply declined with distance from native vegetation. Hover flies and stingless bees showed complementary spatiotemporal visitation patterns, but hover flies could not fully offset pollination loss deeper in the orchard.
