Abstract: Self-incompatible, non-clonal plant species are especially dependent on the activity of flower visitors for seed production. Therefore, populations of these plants are vulnerable to a reduced flower visitation rates, but also to increased isolation by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/aen.12416
Abstract: Many non‐bee insects are important for pollination, yet few studies have assessed the effectiveness of sampling these taxa using low‐cost techniques, such as coloured vane traps, among different habitat types. This study sampled 192 sites… read more here.

DOI: 10.30843/nzpp.2017.70.28
Abstract: The Japanese plum ‘Black Doris’ (Prunus salicina) is a self-infertile early-flowering crop so insufficient cross pollination and lack of pollinators could be factors to explain reported poor fruit set. This project assessed the relative abundance… read more here.

More than Moths: Flower Visitors of a Night-Blooming Plant in South Florida Pine Rocklands, USA
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Plants"
DOI: 10.3390/plants11202799
Abstract: Plants whose flowers open at night but remain open during the day also attract diurnal flower visitors, potentially boosting their pollination rates and providing resources that can support diverse arthropod communities. The rough-leaf velvetseed, Guettarda… read more here.
