Forests are critically important to global pollinator diversity and enhance pollination in adjacent crops

open access: yesBiological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2023
Although the importance of natural habitats to pollinator diversity is widely recognized, the value of forests to pollinating insects has been largely overlooked in many parts of the world.

Flower pollination algorithm with pollinator attraction [PDF]

open access: yesEvolutionary 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 Progeny Production and Sex Ratio of Gryon aetherium (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae), a Candidate Biological Control Agent for Bagrada hilaris (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)

open access: yesInsects, 2022
Manipulating the factors that influence progeny production and sex ratio in parasitoids can help maximize the production of quarantine bioassays and/or mass releases.

New records of pollinators and other insects associated with Arizona milkweed, Asclepias angustifolia, at four sites in Southeastern Arizona

open access: yesJournal of Pollination Ecology, 2021
Asclepias angustifolia is a Mexican milkweed that barely enters the U.S.A. Its pollinators and other insect visitors have not been investigated. During 2018 and 2019, insect visitors were photographed at a native population and three gardens in and near ...

Factors Affecting Pollinators and Pollination [PDF]

open access: yesPsyche: 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].

Herbaceous perennial ornamental plants can support complex pollinator communities

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Human-designed landscapes can host diverse pollinator communities, and the availability of floral resources is central to supporting insect biodiversity in highly modified environments.

Flower Color Evolution and the Evidence of Pollinator-Mediated Selection

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The evolution of floral traits in animal-pollinated plants involves the interaction between flowers as signal senders and pollinators as signal receivers.
