| Even so, approximately one-third of orchid species have evolved pollination mechanisms whereby the pollinator receives no reward whatsoever. |
|
| The plant epidermis is a multifunctional tissue playing important roles in water relations, defence and pollinator attraction. |
|
| Flowers are visited by a diverse pollinator assemblage comprising Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera and Coleoptera. |
|
| It was difficult to determine the duration of the staminate and pistillate phases in L. spicata because of pollinator activity. |
|
| In addition, there are some interdependent relationships between flower and pollinator sizes. |
|
| In all these species, the broad arcuate viscidium firmly embraces the pollinator scutellum when the insect leaves the flower. |
|
| Perhaps the reason is that social bees, which are largely opportunistic, dominate pollinator faunas in northern regions. |
|
| A single pollinator imports sufficient pollen into an individual fig to initiate a full complement of seeds. |
|
| The Indian balsam plant is an example of the incredible relationship between the pollinator and the plant. |
|
| For this reason, pollination can often fail and the seed not set, due to the fact that the specific pollinator has not visited the plant. |
|
| As the pollinator pushes back the brush-like hairs, the valve opens releasing the pollen onto the back of the pollinator. |
|
| Lured inside by droplets of sweet fluid, the pollinator, most often a mining bee, can escape only through one of two small exits at the sac's rear. |
|
| Within each grove, a maximum of eight trees of pollinator varieties per hectare is permitted. |
|
| This improves the foraging efficiency of the pollinator and increases the chance of cross pollination within a plant species. |
|
| This moth, therefore, is a commensal in some populations and a mutualist in others, depending on the local assemblage of pollinator species. |
|
| By modifying the smell of crops such as vanilla, which have specific pollinator species, different insects might be attracted. |
|
| Species-specific models of how pollinator range and abundance may change in response to climate and land use change, and the economic impacts. |
|
| Although the selective agent is unknown, the adaptive evolution of this gene may have resulted in increased effectiveness of pollinator attraction or herbivore repellence. |
|
| The scent draws in its pollinator, the humming bird hawk moth, but it does a good job of pulling in people, too. |
|
| Determination of the effect of pollinator diversity and abundance on seed set. |
|
|
|
| Improved recommendations on how to manage pollinator habitat most effectively. |
|
| Sweet nectar, to which the insects are cued by coloured petals, is the usual pollinator attractant. |
|
| Information on the major ecological and environmental factors affecting plant and pollinator diversity across Canada. |
|
| Should one of the three prove a poor pollinator, chances are that the other two between them can assure crosspollination of all three cultivars. |
|
| The presence of a self-incompatibility mechanism and its inability to reproduce vegetatively makes Trillium grandiflorum reproduction dependent on pollinator activity. |
|
| These pollinator insects are indispensable for the reproduction of plants, including the ones we grow. |
|
| Canadian blueberry growers deserve much of the credit for worldwide interest in pollinator conservation. |
|
| Adopt the migratory stopover and ask your community to declare it a pollinator preserve. |
|
| The decline and collapse of important pollinator populations such a honey bees have become a major concern within recent times. |
|
| The caudicles may dry up if the flower has not been visited by any pollinator, and the pollinia then fall directly on the stigma. |
|
| A national diagnostics network for managed pollinator diseases. |
|
| The defense responses include indirect defenses, which like the pollinator interaction involve changing the apparency of the plant, albeit to predators of the herbivores. |
|
| Promoting pollinator health benefits all Ontarians while strengthening the agri-food sector and our economy. |
|
| The breeding techniques used are inbreeding, top cross, recurrent selection and genetic introgression of specific characters, applied to the both the diploid pollinator and the O-Type and CMS materials. |
|
| The point of this arrangement is to ensure cross-pollination: long-stamened plants' pollen doesn't end up on the flower's own stigma, but rather travels on a pollinator to a long-styled plant's gynoecium and vice versa. |
|
| The flowers that overlap in phenology and the functional characteristics of those flowering together all interact to determine the pollinator visitation that we see. |
|
| As a result, pollination by the moths makes up a very tiny proportion of all the pollinator visits that occur within that community and probably has little effect on plant reproduction or natural selection. |
|
| No isolation is necessary between seed crops using the same pollinator. |
|
| The integrated project ALARM, on assessing large-scale environmental risks for biodiversity, is also funded under the Sixth Framework Programme and includes a module on pollinator loss. |
|
| Let an area of your property grow wild to provide corridors for pollinator movement, native species of plants to grow, and nesting sites for pollinators. |
|
|
|
| The pollination systems of flowering plants have evolved and, at the same time, adapted to changes in pollinator insects, which, in turn, have developed more efficient nectar and pollen collection mechanisms. |
|
| Evidence of this decline is seen, for example, in collapsing fish stocks, widespread loss of soil fertility, crashes in pollinator populations and reduced floodwater retention capacity of our rivers. |
|
| Development of alternative pollinator species for use in agriculture. |
|
| Find out if there's an important pollinator stopover in your area. |
|
| At the conference, Adams said that while scientists continue to examine the causes of pollinator declines, it is crucial to improve the habitats of pollinating animals. |
|
| The best source of outside motion is a sonicating bee, such as a bumblebee, or the original wild halictid pollinator. |
|
| The alfalfa crop's other pollinator, the alfalfa leafcutter bee, is also free-living, though not native to the United States. |
|
| Orchid pollinator needs for nectar can increase the pollination of rewardless orchids through pollinator visitation to facilitation plants. |
|
| A slender stalk connects a pollium to a sticky base that adheres the entire pollinium, containing thousands of pollen grains, to a pollinator. |
|
| In effect, by developing an agricultural system that is heavily reliant on a single pollinator species, we humans have become riskily overspecialized. |
|
| Freitas is also working with the carpenter bee that is the native pollinator of passionfruit, a crop that is now painstakingly pollinated by hand. |
|
| Pollinator activity can affect flower longevity in different ways. |
|
| Pollinator of clustered lady's slipper orchid Cypripedium fasciculatum in Oregon. |

| Elliott Naishtat's proposal to name the western honeybee as the official State Pollinator of Texas. |
