Review: Pollination, Pollinated and Pollinators Interaction in Pakistan

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesScientific 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 ...

Effects of Three Types of Pollen on the Growth and Development of Honey Bee Larvae (Hymenoptera, Apidae)

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Pollen serves as an essential protein source for honey bee larvae. The nutrients in pollen greatly influence larval growth and development. Here, the survival, prepupal weight, developmental stage, pollen digestibility and midgut cells in honey bee (Apis

Pollinator individual‐based networks reveal the specialized plant–pollinator mutualism in two biodiverse communities

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Generalization of pollination systems is widely accepted by ecologists in the studies of plant–pollinator interaction networks at the community level, but the degree of generalization of pollination networks remains largely unknown at the individual ...

An Evaluation of Habitat Uses and Their Implications for the Conservation of the Chinese Bumblebee Bombus pyrosoma (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Bumblebees are important pollinators for many wild plants and crops. However, the bumblebee populations are seriously declining in many parts of the world.

Using citizen science to monitor pollination services [PDF]

open access: yes, 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]

open access: yes, 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

open access: yesEcosphere, 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

open access: yesEcological 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]

open access: yes, 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 ...
