Pollination efficiency of artificial and bee pollination practices in kiwifruit
(Elsevier Science, 2019-02)
The area cultivated with pollinator-dependent crops is increasing worldwide, while a shortfall in pollinator availability is a growing problem in many agroecosystems. For this reason, many highly pollinator-dependent crops ...
Pollination of cacao in Costa Rica
(IICA, Turrialba (Costa Rica), 1950-03)
1. Se discute la literatura sobre la polinización de cacao. 2. Se describe la estructura de la flor de cacao y los métodos de polinización artificial usados. 3. Se investigó y excluyó la posibilidad de polinización por ...
Fragility of nocturnal interactions: Pollination intensity increases with distance to light pollution sources but decreases with increasing environmental suitability
(Elsevier, 2022-01)
Light pollution represents a widespread long-established human-made disturbance and an important threat to nocturnal pollination. Distance from the niche centroid where optimal environmental conditions join may be related ...
Pollination biology and breeding system of Zeyheria montana (Bignoniaceae)
(Plant Systematics and Evolution, 2018)
Pollination and fitness of a hawkmoth-pollinated plant are related to light pollution and tree cover
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-09)
Urbanization results in biodiversity-damaging land use change since it is normally associated with reduced vegetation cover and installation of artificial lights. Light pollution raises illumination levels of night skies ...
Reproductive biology characteristic of Jatropha curcas (Euphorbiaceae)
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2012)
Strategic use of honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) to increase the number and size of fruits in kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa)
(Elsevier, 2022-02)
Fruit size in kiwifruit depends mainly on the number of seeds or fertilized ovules. Pollination by wind is not enough to obtain a fruit size accepted by the market, so it is necessary to perform this practice by means of ...
Mechanical fit between flower and pollinators in relation to realized precision and accuracy in the hummingbird-pollinated Dolichandra cynanchoides
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-04)
The adaptive accuracy of flowers in the context of pollination can be used to address the relationships between flower phenotype (fundamental pollination accuracyand precision) and realized accuracy and precision (interaction ...
