Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2013 Social learning occurs when one individual learns from another, mainly conspecific, often by observation, imitation, or communication. Using artificial flowers, we studied social learning by allowing test bumblebees to (a) see dead bumblebees arranged in

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2023 We studied the mode of pollination in Greek oregano (Origanum vulgare ssp. hirtum) under both controlled and open pollination conditions. When grown indoors without the presence of insects, Greek oregano plants did not develop any seeds, indicating a low

Pollinator foraging flexibility and coexistence of competing plants [PDF]
PLoS ONE 11(8): e0160076 (2016), 2016 We use the optimal foraging theory to study coexistence between two plant species and a generalist pollinator. We compare conditions for plant coexistence for non-adaptive vs. adaptive pollinators that adjust their foraging strategy to maximize fitness. When pollinators have fixed preferences, we show that plant coexistence typically requires both weak

Pollination of Nypa fruticans (Wurmb.) in a South Florida botanic garden
Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2021 When plants are removed from their native habitat, reproduction can be compromised if pollinators are absent, especially when plant-pollinator interactions are species-specific and the plant is self-incompatible.

Beyond data labor: sowing synthesis science in the Global South
Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2023 Synthesis science is an emergent research field for harmonizing different data, concepts, and theories to create new insights and endorse novel approaches. Here we provide a brief general overview of synthesis science, emphasize the geographically biased

Robotic Pollinating Tools for Actinidia Crops
Biology and Life Sciences Forum, 2023 Pollination is a crucial reproductive process that underpins crop yield and quality as well as sustains other ecosystem services essential for our planet’s life. Insects are the largest group of pollinators, particularly bees, handling the pollination of

Toward in vitro fertilization in Brachiaria spp. [PDF]
, 2010 Brachiaria are forage grasses widely cultivated in tropical areas. In vitro pollination was applied to accessions of Brachiaria spp. by placing pollen of non-dehiscent anthers on a solid medium near isolated ovaries.
