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.

Ethnoecology of pollination and pollinators [PDF]
Revue d'ethnoécologie, 2015 This paper brings together three case studies on the interrelationships amongst people, pollination processes and pollinators (notably honeybees). In the palm groves of Saharan oases, the milieu and varieties of palm trees are created by horticulturalists, who fulfil themselves the role of pollinators.

The effects of urbanisation on pollinators and pollination: A meta-analysis
Ecology Letters, 2022 Urbanisation is increasing worldwide, with major impacts on biodiversity, species interactions and ecosystem functioning. Pollination is an ecosystem function vital for terrestrial ecosystems and food security, however, the processes underlying the patterns of pollinator diversity and the ecosystem services they provide in cities have seldom been ...

Pollination Services of Mango Flower Pollinators [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2015 Measuring wild pollinator services in agricultural production is very important in the context of sustainable management. In this study, we estimated the contribution of native pollinators to mango fruit set production of two mango cultivars Mangifera indica (L). cv. 'Sala' and 'Chok Anan'. Visitation rates of pollinators on mango flowers and number of

A review of pollinator conservation and management on infrastructure supporting rights-of-way
Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2012 Early successional landscapes along or adjacent to infrastructure installations have been highlighted as potential pollinator conservation zones that provide environmental benefits and ameliorate some of the negative impacts of wildland conversion ...
