Abstract: Nearly half of the bee species can perform a fascinating stereotyped behavior to collect pollen grains by vibrating flowers, known as buzz pollination. During the floral visit, these bees mechanically transfer the vibrations produced by… read more here.

Abstract: Plants that exhibit generalised pollination syndromes have been hypothesised to become invasive more easily compared with specialists, yet the degree to which specialised pollination traits inhibit plant invasions is unknown. One such specialisation is the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.198176
Abstract: ABSTRACT During buzz pollination, bees use their indirect flight muscles to produce vibrations that are transmitted to the flowers and result in pollen release. Although buzz pollination has been known for >100 years, we are still… read more here.
