Lots of plants rely on insects like bees to reproduce. To make a seed, a flower needs to be pollinated. This means that pollen from one flower needs to travel to another. Bees are very important ...
However, the increasing prevalence of artificial light at night poses a threat to these adaptations, potentially disrupting their color vision and, consequently, their pollination activities.
Human impacts go beyond fragmentation of habitat to other modifications. We are interested in how anthropogenic impacts from farming to logging to cattle grazing affect bee communities and pollination ...
Bees and other pollinators, such as butterflies, bats and hummingbirds, are increasingly under threat from human activities. Pollination is, however, a fundamental process for the survival of our ...
