Flower pollination algorithm with pollinator attraction [PDF]
Evolutionary Intelligence, 2022 The Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) is a highly efficient optimization algorithm that is inspired by the evolution process of flowering plants. In the present study, a modified version of FPA is proposed accounting for an additional feature of flower pollination in nature that is the so-called pollinator attraction.

Factors Affecting Pollinators and Pollination [PDF]
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2012 While it has been known for at least a decade that the colony numbers of the managed pollinator, the Western honey bee Apis mellifera, was on the decline, pollinator problemwas not well publicized until the Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) further ravaged the honey bee population in the United States [1].

Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3155-3172, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Developing countries, especially those in hot and dry areas, need more attention to achieve sustainable development as they apply excessive inputs in production processes. The present study aims to quantify the amount of environmental emissions and determine the most appropriate pattern of energy use in the date (Phoenix dactylifera L ...

Downy mildew resistance and genetic variability in a wild rocket germplasm collection
Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3083-3095, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract One hundred accessions of a “core collection” of Diplotaxis tenuifolia (L.) DC. and Eruca spp. were screened at seedling stage for resistance to downy mildew. Accessions tested at the seedling stage were assigned to 0–6 interaction phenotypes.

Does agroecosystem management mitigate historic climate impacts on dryland winter wheat yields?
Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3515-3530, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Global studies that quantify climate effects on crop yields using top‐down spatial frameworks are invaluable for assessing generalized effects on world food supplies, yet do not contain the resolution necessary to identify local mediating effects of management. Our objectives were to identify (a) what climate factors have historically affected

Pollen limitation of native plant reproduction in an urban landscape
American Journal of Botany, Volume 109, Issue 12, Page 1969-1980, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Premise Evidence suggests that bees may benefit from moderate levels of human development. However, the effects of human development on pollination and reproduction of bee‐pollinated plants are less‐well understood. Studies have measured natural variation in pollination and plant reproduction as a function of urbanization, but few have ...

American Journal of Botany, Volume 109, Issue 12, Page 1991-2005, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Premise Numerous processes influence plant distributions and co‐occurrence patterns, including ecological sorting, limiting similarity, and stochastic effects. To discriminate among these processes and determine the spatial scales at which they operate, we investigated how functional traits and phylogenetic relatedness influence the ...
