Ensemble Modeling Reveals Threats to Pollination Services From Asynchronous Range Shifts Between Camellia oleifera and Its Specialized Wild Bee Pollinators [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionCamellia oleifera is a self‐incompatible woody oil crop endemic to China that relies solely on insect pollination for seed production. Its flowering period, from late October to late December, coincides with seasonally low temperatures that suppress ...

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.

Adventive Gryon aetherium Talamas (Hymenoptera, Scelionidae) associated with eggs of Bagrada hilaris (Burmeister) (Hemiptera, Pentatomidae) in the USA [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2021 Bagrada bug, Bagrada hilaris (Burmeister) (Hemiptera, Pentatomidae), has become a major pest of cole crops (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale) in California since its arrival in 2008. In this study we documented parasitism of B.

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.

Flowers through insect eyes: the contribution of pollinator vision to the evolution of flower colour [PDF]
, 2010 PhDFlowers’ colours are an essential element of their ability to attract visits from pollinators. However, the colours as they appear to human observers can differ substantially from their appearance to insect pollinators, and so it is essential to ...
