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 ...

For plant species that depend on animal-mediated pollination, reproduction hinges on adequate access to pollinators. Even in the presence of intact pollinator assemblages, negative interactions among ...

The balance between mutualistic and antagonistic plant-animal interactions and their spatial variation results in a highly dynamic mosaic of reproductive success within plant populations. Yet, the ...

The image, taken in a field in West Bengal, India, shows a pollinator-plant interaction likely occurring between a Hoverfly ...

Daniels and colleagues then surveyed these sites to observe visiting pollinators in thirty-minute intervals from 10AM-5PM in sunny, non-windy conditions from May to August 2016 (with the linden trees ...

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 ...

Interaction networks are typically presented and analyzed as compiled observations over multiple time periods or sites but decomposing networks into their spatiotemporal components can give us ...

Pollination is the process by which flowering plants reproduce. Pollen, produced by the male flower part, must move to the female flower part to make a seed. Not all flowering plants are alike. Some ...

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 ...
