Abundance of Pollinator Insect (Forcipomyia Spp .) of Cocoa Under Some Shade Trees [PDF]
, 2016 Cocoa production is affected by cocoa flowering and fruiting. The factor affects fruit seeting is pollinator agent such as Forcipomyia spp. Until now, information concerning population dynamics of Forcipomyia in some models of cocoa shading trees remains

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 ...

Multifunctional Bracts in the Dove Tree Davidia involucrata (Nyssaceae:Cornales) [PDF]
, 2008 Although there has been much experimental work on floral traits that are under selection from mutualists and antagonists, selection by abiotic environmental factors on flowers has been largely ignored.

Pollination Efficiency and the Evolution of Specialized Deceptive Pollination Systems [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 2010 The ultimate causes of evolution of highly specialized pollination systems are little understood. We investigated the relationship between specialization and pollination efficiency, defined as the proportion of pollinated flowers relative to those that experienced pollen removal, using orchids with different pollination strategies as a model system ...

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 ...

Conserving diversity in Irish plant–pollinator networks
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Beneficial insects provide valuable services upon which we rely, including pollination. Pollinator conservation is a global priority, and a significant concern in Ireland, where over half of extant bee species have declined significantly in recent ...

Mutually beneficial pollinator diversity and crop yield outcomes in small and large farms
Science, 2016 More-diverse pollinators improve crop yields It is known that increased pollinator diversity can improve the yield of agricultural crops. However, how best to both produce food and maintain diversity is still debated. Garibaldi et al.

A horizon scan of future threats and opportunities for pollinators and pollination [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Background. Pollinators, which provide the agriculturally and ecologically essential service of pollination, are under threat at a global scale. Habitat loss and homogenisation, pesticides, parasites and pathogens, invasive species, and climate change have been identified as past and current threats to pollinators.
