Review: Pollination, Pollinated and Pollinators Interaction in Pakistan
Journal of Bioresource Management, 2014 The agriculture sector is important in the overall economy and export earnings of Pakistan. Pollination is an essential ecosystem service that depends on symbiosis between species, the pollinated and the pollinator. Animal mediated pollination contributes to the sexual production of over 90% species of modern angiosperms.

Bumble bee queen pheromones are context-dependent
Scientific Reports, 2021 Queen pheromones have long been studied as a major factor regulating reproductive division of labor in social insects. Hitherto, only a handful of queen pheromones were identified and their effects on workers have mostly been studied in isolation from ...

Using citizen science to monitor pollination services [PDF]
, 2015 1. Pollination by insects is a vital ecosystem service and the need for its assessment is increasing in recognition and political pressure, but there are currently no large-scale systematic monitoring schemes in place to measure the direct provision of ...

Reproductive success through high pollinator visitation rates despite self incompatibility in an endangered wallflower [PDF]
, 2016 PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Self incompatibility (SI) in rare plants presents a unique challenge—SI protects plants from inbreeding depression, but requires a sufficient number of mates and xenogamous pollination. Does SI persist in an endangered polyploid? Is

Plant species richness and sunlight exposure increase pollinator attraction to pollinator gardens
Ecosphere, 2022 Evidence documenting the decline of insect populations is accumulating. Efforts have increased to mitigate pollinator losses by establishing gardens to support pollinator diversity.

Testing the accuracy of a Rights-of-Way pollinator habitat scoring system
Ecological Indicators, 2023 Habitat loss is a major cause of pollinator declines, and there is increased interest by the public in creating pollinator-friendly lands. Electric and transportation rights-of-way (ROW) present an opportunity for large amounts of land to be managed to ...

Pollination services in the UK: how important are honeybees? [PDF]
, 2011 Pollination services are known to provide substantial benefits to human populations and agriculture in particular. Although many species are known to provide pollination services, honeybees (Apis mellifera) are often assumed to provide the majority of ...
