Pollination by animals contributes to a third of global food production, but little research has been done into the extent to which the identity of pollinators, pollen and crop varieties influence ...
Imagine a bee crawling into a bright yellow flower. This simple interaction is something you may have witnessed many times. It is also a crucial sign of the health of our environment – and one I’ve ...
Understanding human impacts on biodiversity is hindered by a lack of long-term studies spanning decades and documenting these changes. Such studies are so rare because they are difficult to maintain ...
Increasing urbanization worldwide is a growing threat to biodiversity. At the same time, flowering plants are often more diverse in cities than in the countryside. This is due to flowering plants and ...
I’ve visited the same Rocky Mountain subalpine meadow weekly for a decade of summers looking at plant-pollinator interactions—here’s what I learned Imagine a bee crawling into a bright yellow flower.
Using functional traits together with abundance effects strengthens the prediction of interactions between pairs of species in ecological networks. Insights into the way species interact as well as ...
Annals of Botany, Vol. 123, No. 2, Special Issue on Ecology and Evolution of Plant Reproduction (January 2019), pp. 225-245 (21 pages) • Background The male fitness pathway, from pollen production to ...
A new paper in Annals of Botany, published by Oxford University Press, indicates that pollination can have a dramatic effect on how plants grow and change. The study shows that when plants and ...
An online database which documents pollinator-plant interactions, could help the public understand how to plant for pollinators, and support biodiversity. An online database developed at the ...
Utah State University ecologists Valerie Martin and Robert Schaeffer test the hypothesis that yeast in nectar-inhabiting ...
