Drought, pollen and nectar availability, and pollination success.
Pollination success of animal-pollinated flowers depends on rate of pollinator visits and on pollen deposition per visit, both of which should vary with the pollen and nectar "neighborhoods" of a plant, i.e., with pollen and nectar availability in nearby

Pollen germination and pollen tube growth are prerequisites for fertilization in seed bearing plants. The present study deals with the morphology, production, pollen-ovule ratio, and effect of sucrose on in-vitro germination of pollen grains of Gloriosa ...

Comment on Increased mortality is predicted of Inachis io larvae caused by Bt-maize pollen in European farmland, Ecological Modelling, 2013 [PDF]
In this comment, we analyze the mathematical model by Holst et al that estimates the increased mortality of Inachis io larvae caused by Bt-maize pollen in European farmaland. In particular, we focus our attention on the part of Holst et al's work that models the Bt-maize pollen loss on plant leaves by a differential equation.

Influence of Pollen Nutrition on Honey Bee Health: Do Pollen Quality and Diversity Matter?
Honey bee colonies are highly dependent upon the availability of floral resources from which they get the nutrients (notably pollen) necessary to their development and survival.

Pollen nutrients better explain bumblebee colony development than pollen diversity
Bumblebees are valuable pollinators of numerous wild and cultivated plants. They can forage on variable pollen resources. As some pollen species lack particular nutrients or have global low nutritional quality, it has been suggested that bumblebees mix ...
