Of particular concern is the impoverishment of insect populations, which account for about two-thirds of all biota species on the planet and are important for maintaining ecosystem stability and providing ecosystem services. Plant pollination is one of the most important ecosystem services on which ...

The invasive Lespedeza cuneata attracts more insect pollinators than native congeners in tallgrass prairie with variable impacts Invasive plant species can potentially exert competitive or facilitative effects on insect pollination services of native species. Factors that influence t... TM Woods,JL Jonas,...
The number of inflorescences on the same plant that each insect visited was also noted. Self-pollination was tested by bagging 15 other inflorescences prior to their opening. If inflorescences fruited, the numbers of fruits and aborted fruits were counted. Another explanation could be that ...
Current objections to the applications of biotechnology include: 1. Gene pollution of important world food crops and livestock; 2. Gene flow through cross pollination between GM and non-GM crops; 3. Concern over GM virus resistant plants making new strains of viruses; 4. Cancer risks related ...
While feeding on nectar the pollens attach onto their body. When the same insect visits another flower it transfers the pollen to the stigma of that flower leading to pollination. Share with friends FacebookTwitterWhatsAppPrevious Anatomy of Dicotyledonous and Monocotyledonous Plants Next ...
The national and international trade of commodities generated via insect pollination is large. Trade in those crops could be a means of influencing regulations to promote the local existence of pollinating species, apart from their contributions to biodiversity conservation. This paper, using the ...

pollinationsexual selectionAbstract. We analyse the hypothesis that predictable gradients occur in plant–pollinator interactions along altitudinal gradients due to thermal constraints on insect body size and floral traits being selected for by pollinators. Pollinators’ size should follow Bergmann's rule ...
