Washington State University entomologists announced this week that commercial honey bee colony losses are projected to reach between 60% and 70% in 2025.

Mutualistic interactions are mutually beneficial species interactions. Plant-pollinator mutualisms are particularly important, and involve nearly 170,000 plant and 200,000 animal species.

The latest review article from the Interdisciplinary Center for Marine and Environmental Research (CIIMAR) in Portugal opens ...

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 ...

And that's because pollination is critical to the health ... The extinction of bees could have a disastrous domino effect, killing off animals that eat those plants, and so on up the food chain.

Pollinators are animals that help to transport pollen from one location to another in the plant reproduction process. Pollination is crucial to our well-being and to the survival of ecosystems.

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

Almost 90% of wild plants and 75% of leading global crops depend on animal pollination. One out of every three mouthfuls of our food depends on pollinators such as bees. Crops that depend on ...

One answer is pollination, or plant sexual reproduction. Pollinators—typically wind, water, and animals—carry pollen from one flower to another, where fertilization takes place. Below ...

Cross-pollination: The pollen grain lands on a different flower to the one it originated from. As plants cannot move like animals they must adopt a different method of transferring these pollen ...
