Pollination ecology examines how pollen is transferred between plants and how floral traits, environmental conditions and pollinator communities shape reproductive success. Insect‐mediated pollination ...

Insect pollination is a decisive process for the survival and evolution of angiosperm (flowering) plants and, to a lesser extent, gymnosperms (without visible flower or fruit). There is a growing ...

A wide range of plant species rely on insects for pollination, but the diversity of these insect-pollinated plants have decreased dramatically in recent decades Wild flowers are essential to bees and ...

Insects are the primary pollinators of most flowers and crops. Niklas_Weidner/500px via Getty Images Rachel Mallinger: A lot of different insects pollinate. Insects visit flowers for many purposes, ...

The Mesozoic era witnessed the origin and early diversification of insect–plant pollination interactions long before the dominance of modern flowering plants. During the Triassic and Jurassic, ...

Research has found that “non-bee” insects are as important as honey bees in pollinating flowers, a service vital for crop production. In a study published today in the Proceedings of the National ...

Air pollution is a widespread issue affecting millions of people around the world, causing disastrous effects. But we humans are not the only ones to suffer from unclean air. In the last decade, a ...

The Laramie chickensage is unusual among the hundreds of species of sagebrush, most of which are primarily pollinated by the wind. A rare species of sagebrush found only in southeast Wyoming survives ...

A rare species of sagebrush found only in southeast Wyoming survives primarily through pollination by bees, according to new research led by a University of Wyoming graduate student. That makes the ...
