Keanekaragaman, perilaku kunjungan, dan efektivitas serangga penyerbuk pada tanaman mentimun (Cucumis sativus Linn.) [PDF]
Jurnal Entomologi Indonesia, 2017 Cucumber is a monoceous plant and require pollinators for pollination process. Diversity and foraging activity of pollinators affect the effectiveness of pollination, which can improve the yields.

The effects of meliponicultural use of Tetragonula laeviceps on other bee pollinators and pollination efficacy of lemon [PDF]
PeerJThe augmentation of pollination success in lemon (Citrus limon Eureka) flowers remains contingent on the involvement of bee pollinators. With wild bee pollinator populations declining in agroecosystems, meliponiculture has emerged as a potential option ...

Dimorphic enantiostyly and its function for pollination by carpenter bees in a pollen-rewarding Caribbean bloodwort. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Premise Flowers that present their anthers and stigma in close proximity can achieve precise animal‐mediated pollen transfer, but risk self‐pollination. One evolutionary solution is reciprocal herkogamy. Reciprocity of anther and style positions among different plants (i.e., a genetic dimorphism) is common in distylous plants, but very rare in

Separating Sampling Bias From Abundance Shows That Different Methods Catch Different Wild Bees. [PDF]
Ecol EvolComparing community sampling methods' relative taxonomic biases is critical to interpreting the data they collect, but measuring bias explicitly is difficult when methods also produce different sample sizes. Here, we control for absolute abundance while comparing sample composition and richness of three common methods for sampling wild bee communities.

Study on Floral Syndrome and Breeding System of an Endangered Species <i>Rhododendron nymphaeoides</i>. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study divided the flowering process of Rhododendron nymphaeoides into five periods and systematically investigated the floral traits, pollen morphology and viability, optimal solid media for in vitro pollen germination, storage temperature screening, pollen–ovule ratio and hybridization index, stigma receptivity, the effects of different ...

Generalization for both diurnal and nocturnal pollination in the mass-flowering desert geophyte Nerine laticoma (Amaryllidaceae). [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Both diurnal and nocturnal pollinators are important in the desert plant Nerine laticoma. Abstract The evolutionary limits to generalization in plant pollination systems are often determined by trade‐offs in which adaptations to one set of flower visitors reduces the effectiveness of another set of visitors.

Fine-tuning the buzz: comparing visitation frequency and pollination effectiveness in plant-pollinator networks. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Ecological network approaches have advanced our understanding of how species interactions influence community and evolutionary dynamics. However, a key limitation is that most network analyses rely solely on visitation data, often overlooking functional aspects of interactions.

Pollinator-dependence and specialization in three sunbird-pollinated, fire-stimulated flowering species. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Through field observations and experimental verification, we found that three bird‐pollinated plant species with fire‐stimulated flowering specialize in, and heavily depend on, sunbirds for pollination and reproduction. Abstract Fires dramatically reduce both floral resources and pollinator abundance, potentially compromising flowering plant ...

Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Fire is a major form of environmental disturbance, and in recent years, due to anthropogenic climate change and anthropogenic land management, we are seeing increases in the frequency and intensity of fires. With bees being an important, diverse group of pollinators that is facing declines globally, understanding how they respond to fires is ...
