However, there has been much less study of how plants signal to animals, which is particularly important for the pollination cycle among other things. Conventional non-iridescent cues such as ...

Such animals are called pollinators, and research has shown that not only insects but also wolves help the pollination cycle as pollinators. Canids as pollinators? Nectar foraging by Ethiopian ...

MIT scientists are designing robotic insects that could one day swarm out of mechanical hives and perform pollination at a rapid pace — ensuring fruits and vegetables are grown at an unprecedented ...

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 ...

They begin their life cycle as ‘Spores’. Spores are created by an adult plant without any need for pollination. Spores have to get out into the big wide world too. So, just like flowering ...

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 ...

Pollination is, however, a fundamental process for the survival of our ecosystems. Nearly 90% of the world’s wild flowering plant species depend, entirely, or at least in part, on animal ...

Advancements in agriculture are now entering uncharted territory, propelled by significant breakthroughs in robotics. At the pinnacle of this pursuit, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) ...

BeeHero, the pioneer of data-driven precision pollination, announced today the expanded application of its Pollination Insight Platform (PIP) to the apple market, providing growers with actionable, ...
