Pollinators are animals that help to transport pollen from one location to another in the plant reproduction process.

Pollination is used by about 85% of wild plants and over 70% of cultivated plants to reproduce. However, the diversity of pollinator species is declining due to climate change, habitat loss and ...

Recovered grasslands need more than 75 years of continuous management to regain their biodiversity because specialized ...

Recovered grasslands need more than 75 years of continuous management to regain their biodiversity because specialized pollinators are slow to return. A new finding underscores the importance of ...

Pollinators help plants grow and ecosystems thrive, but their decline threatens nature, biodiversity, and food security.

We’ve shown that pollinator biodiversity tends to be higher in larger fragments of the Garry Oak Ecosystem, but this is largely due to the response of some (but not all) nesting guilds of bees. Pollen ...

Interactions with pollinators are thought to be one of the main selective forces underlying the origin of floral diversity. Species of Iochrominae are pollinated by a wide range of animals, including ...

A study reveals that even after 75 years of continuous management, restored grasslands do not match the biodiversity of ...

Preserving old grasslands for biodiversity requires 75 years of management to restore plant diversity and specialized pollinator communities.

“We investigated how the quality of local habitats, the form of agriculture and the design of the surrounding landscape can contribute to the conservation of pollinator diversity on valuable ...
