Pollinators and Pollination

2021
A unique and personal insight into the ecology and evolution of pollinators, their relationships with flowers, and their conservation in a rapidly changing world. The pollination of flowers by insects, birds and other animals is a fundamentally important ecological function that supports both the natural world and human society. Without pollinators to

Plant–pollinator networks: adding the pollinator’s perspective

Ecology Letters, 2009
Abstract Pollination network studies are based on pollinator surveys conducted on focal plants. This plant‐centred approach provides insufficient information on flower visitation habits of rare pollinator species, which are the majority in pollinator communities.

Natural hazard threats to pollinators and pollination

Global Change Biology, 2019
AbstractNatural hazards are naturally occurring physical events that can impact human welfare both directly and indirectly, via shocks to ecosystems and the services they provide. Animal‐mediated pollination is critical for sustaining agricultural economies and biodiversity, yet stands to lose both from present exposure to natural hazards, and future ...

Worldwide importance of insect pollination in apple orchards: A review

, 2020
Apple (Malus domestica) is one of the most important fruit crops globally. Apple trees depend greatly on insect pollination to achieve high yields and obtain fruits of acceptable marketable quality.

Pollination

2023
A child’s day in the garden with their Gran and Pa leads to a wonderful exploration of pollination. Join them in discovering how pollination happens in our gardens and backyards, and the importance it has for our environment. Meet the animals involved in pollination and the plants that depend on pollination to produce our fruit ...

Pollination efficiency and foraging behaviour of honey bees and non‐Apis bees to sweet cherry

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, 2019
Crop pollination generally increases with pollinator diversity and wild pollinator visitation. To optimize crop pollination, it is necessary to investigate the pollination contribution of different pollinator species.

Pollinator diversity, floral resources and semi-natural habitat, instead of honey bees and intensive agriculture, enhance pollination service to sweet cherry

Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 2019
Declines of pollinator diversity are causing concern about pollination service security for agriculture and natural ecosystems. Landscape composition has been found to regulate the diversity of pollinator communities and their corresponding pollination ...

Orchid pollination by sexual deception: pollinator perspectives

Biological Reviews, 2010
The extraordinary taxonomic and morphological diversity of orchids is accompanied by a remarkable range of pollinators and pollination systems. Sexually deceptive orchids are adapted to attract specific male insects that are fooled into attempting to mate with orchid flowers and inadvertently acting as pollinators.

Pollination efficiency of artificial and bee pollination practices in kiwifruit

Scientia Horticulturae, 2019
The area cultivated with pollinator-dependent crops is increasing worldwide, while a shortfall in pollinator availability is a growing problem in many agroecosystems.

Pollination.

2018
Abstract Pollination is controlled through a window in the specialized isolation bag; this reduces the risk of contamination (foreign pollen, disease and insects). Prior to pollination, the area around the isolation bag is sprayed to kill insects, as these can carry unwanted pollen.
