While other animals are included as pollinators, the majority of pollination is done by insects.
Since these early studies of pollination ecotypes attracting different pollinators, the field has grown markedly.
Because the study of mechanisms of pollination began in Europe, where pollinating birds are rare, their importance is often underestimated.
Likewise, the capture rate of pollinators provides a proxy for the magnitude of pollination.
We have also demonstrated that gardens are not only beneficial to pollinators, but also to the process of pollination.
Morphological interactions between orchids and their pollinators are crucial to the success of pollination.
Most studies of pollination ecotypes have considered divergence in the pollinator species attracted.
While yield was positively correlated with pollinator abundance, species richness had little effect on the level of pollination services.
"I knew that the act of pollination was the most titillating experience for plants," Keats said.
With reference to sexually propagated crops, the concept of cultivar depends on the method of pollination.
