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.

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

Mating system and female reproductive success of the endemic and endangered epiphyte Rhynchostele cervantesii (Orchidaceae) in a cloud forest in Michoacan, Mexico [PDF]
Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Background and aims – The Orchidaceae family is vulnerable, because of the destruction of their habitat, as well as the extraction of individuals from natural populations.

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

IEEE Access, 2023 In greenhouse tomato cultivation, three primary methods of flower pollination exist: insect pollination, physical pollination by vibrating flowers, and artificial pollination using hormone-based chemicals. Insect pollination, the natural method, involves

Effects of fire on pollinators and pollination [PDF]
Journal of Applied Ecology, 2016 Summary Increased incidence of landscape fire and pollinator declines with co‐extinctions of dependent plant species are both globally significant. Fire can alter species distributions, but its effects on plant–pollinator interactions are poorly understood so its present and future role in coupled plant–pollinator declines cannot be assessed.

Derim, 2019 Different pollination techniques were applied to improve fruit quality in kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa cv. Hayward) in the province of Yalova. Open pollination was considered as the control, and additional pollination experiments are conducted ...

BioFactors, Volume 48, Issue 6, Page 1226-1249, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Ocular allergies are becoming more prevalent as more airborne pollutants, irritants and microbes pervade our environment. Inflammatory and allergic mediators released by dendritic and mast cells within the conjunctiva cause allergic conjunctivitis (AC), a prevalent ocular surface disorder that affects >40% of the world's human population on a ...

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
