Pollination is the first step of flowering plant reproduction: pollen moves from male flower parts to female flower parts, to fertilize the ovule and produce seeds.

Climate change poses a major well-known risk to cacao production. But a new study finds that low pollination is also limiting yields in producing countries — a finding that could offer hope to a ...

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 ...

Classic island biogeography theory predicts that biodiversity and abundance should increase with island size; we make similar predictions for fragmented ecosystems. We’ve shown that pollinator ...
