Competition for pollination has been hypothesized to select for the divergence of floral traits between species and populations. A primary prediction of this hypothesis is that the strength of ...

A decline in bee diversity and abundance linked to habitat loss and disease in Europe together with a 50% drop in the number of managed honeybee colonies throughout North America are part of a global ...

A new study published in Science shows that these plants—called cycads—use infrared radiation from heat as a signal to ...

Honeybees, which are not native to the United States, may be outcompeting native bees for pollen. Ed Reschke via Getty Images Honeybees are often heralded as a symbol of biodiversity and a key species ...

New research by scientists at the University of Toronto offers novel insights into why and how dozens of flowering plant species evolved from being pollinated by insects to being pollinated by wind.

The global threat to the pollination of flowers and food production crops, highlighted by a dramatic decline in honeybee colonies, could be eased by a renewed focus on ‘wild’ pollinators.

Facilitation occurs when an increase in the density of one species causes an increase in the population growth rate or the density of a second species. In plants, ample evidence demonstrates that one ...

Through pollination and feeding on all parts of plants, insects influence which plants thrive, which struggle, and even ...
