Fishing for flies: testing the efficacy of “stink stations” for promoting blow flies as pollinators in mango orchards

Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2023
Pollinator communities are composed of diverse groups of insects, with radically different life histories and resource needs. Blow flies are known to visit a variety of economically important crop plants.
