2024年1月9日 · Here, we examine the ways in which air pollution is thought to influence insect pollination, from potential mismatches between flowering and pollinator activity, to changes in pollinator attraction to flowers, to extensions in foraging periods.

2024年2月7日 · Laura Duque and Professor Ingolf Steffan-Dewenter have now summarized the latest research findings on how air pollutants—in particular ozone, diesel exhaust and particulate matter —could endanger...

2024年3月7日 · Air pollution may blunt the signature scents of some night-blooming flowers, jeopardizing pollination. When the aroma of a pale evening primrose encounters certain pollutants in the night...

2024年7月11日 · Air pollution has the potential to disrupt ecologically- and economically-beneficial services provided by invertebrates, including pollination and natural pest regulation. To effectively...

Here, we examine the ways in which air pollution is thought to influence insect pollination, from potential mismatches between flowering and pollinator activity, to changes in pollinator attraction to flowers, to extensions in foraging periods.

2022年3月15日 · Using free-air fumigation, we show that elevating diesel exhaust and O 3, individually and in combination, to levels lower than is considered safe under current air quality standards, significantly reduced counts of locally-occurring wild and managed insect pollinators by 62–70% and their flower visits by 83–90%. These reductions were ...

2022年1月20日 · Scientists studying air pollutants from both urban and rural environments found that there are up to 70% fewer pollinators, up to 90% less flower visits, and an overall 31% in pollination reduction in test plants when there were several common ground-level air pollutants present – including diesel exhaust pollutants and ozone.

2023年5月31日 · Does it help us better understand the mechanism by which air pollution affects pollinators? Our study used several control experiments to differentiate the direct from indirect effects of air pollution on pollinators and plants.

2023年4月18日 · Here, we synthesize the existing evidence on the impact of air, light, and noise pollution on one function, namely pollination. We highlight that air pollution negatively affects the pollination system, decreasing plant reproductive success—the outcome of pollination—and harming plant–pollinator interactions, while not affecting ...
