Pollinators like the blue orchard bee live in a natural symbiosis with farmers, because crops rely on them to reproduce. In return, the pollinators receive flower nectar that gives them energy to fly.

Scientists have discovered that flowering plants growing in farmland are increasingly doing without insect pollinators. As reproduction becomes more difficult for them in an environment depleted in ...

Insects make up most of the species on earth and are so crucial to life in general, and yet numbers are dwindling like never before. A documentary highlights the switch ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers a new way to track the insect pollinators essential to farming. In a new study, we installed miniature digital cameras and computers inside a greenhouse at a ...

Tropical Agricultural Areas Face Unprecedented Pollinator Collapse The hardest hit regions appear to be sub-Saharan Africa, northern South America, and Southeast Asia, where localized risk is highest ...

A wide range of plant species rely on insects for pollination, but the diversity of these insect-pollinated plants have decreased dramatically in recent decades Wild flowers are essential to bees and ...

Insect pollination is a decisive process for the survival and evolution of angiosperm (flowering) plants and, to a lesser extent, gymnosperms (without visible flower or fruit). There is a growing ...

Scientists at the CNRS and the University of Montpellier 1 have discovered that flowering plants growing in farmland are increasingly doing without insect pollinators. As reproduction becomes more ...
