Plant Biodiversity Enhances Bees and Other Insect Pollinators in Agroecosystems. a Review Plant Biodiversity Enhances Bees and Other Insect Pollinators in Agroecosystems. a Review
Thirty-five percent of global production from crops including at least 800 cultivated plants depend on animal pollination. The transformation of agriculture in the past half-century has triggered a decline in bees and other insect pollinators. In North America, losses of bee colonies have accelerated since 2004, leaving the continent with fewer managed pollinators than at any time in the past 5...
متن کاملHairiness: the missing link between pollinators and pollination
BACKGROUND Functional traits are the primary biotic component driving organism influence on ecosystem functions; in consequence, traits are widely used in ecological research. However, most animal trait-based studies use easy-to-measure characteristics of species that are at best only weakly associated with functions. Animal-mediated pollination is a key ecosystem function and is likely to be i...
متن کاملLearning in Insect Pollinators and Herbivores.
The relationship between plants and insects is influenced by insects' behavioral decisions during foraging and oviposition. In mutualistic pollinators and antagonistic herbivores, past experience (learning) affects such decisions, which ultimately can impact plant fitness. The higher levels of dietary generalism in pollinators than in herbivores may be an explanation for the differences in lear...
متن کاملشناسایی حشرات گرده‌افشان کلزا در سه رقم مختلف پاییزه و تأثیر آنها روی عملکرد دانه در اصفهان
Canola (Brassica napus) is one of the important oil seed crops cultivated in many parts of Iran. One of the main problems of seed production of canola is pollination and fertilization of flowers. Insects are the major pollinators. In order to study the fauna of insect pollinators of 3 cultivars of canola including Talaye, Okapi and S.L.M. and the difference between the attractiveness of these c...
