This is called pollination. When the pollen lands on the stigma it travels down the style towards the ovary. Once the pollen reaches the ovary it hopes to find an ovule to attach to. This is ...

Insect-pollination of flowering plants is responsible for the majority of the world’s flowering diversity and is an essential part of plant reproduction. Flowers have bright colours, smells and ...

Human impacts go beyond fragmentation of habitat to other modifications. We are interested in how anthropogenic impacts from farming to logging to cattle grazing affect bee communities and pollination ...

But how did these immobile organisms manage to spread so far? One answer is pollination, or plant sexual reproduction. Pollinators—typically wind, water, and animals—carry pollen from one ...

Ah, innovation! It is that flair in the entrepreneurs' eyes, the burning desire in their belly, the wind that supports their ...

He describes himself saying, "I'm particularly interested in their pollination mechanisms, employing an interdisciplinary approach that integrates taxonomy, ecology, and evolutionary biology." ...

Despite the team’s improvements, the robotic insects still cannot match the capabilities of natural pollinators. However, the researchers aim to improve the robots’ flight time and precision to enable ...

When pests clip silks shorter than that, pollination won’t happen. “When pollen drops, you need the silks to receive it,” says Ken Ferrie, Farm Journal Field Agronomist and owner of Crop ...
