Pollinators improve crop quality by influencing plant interactions, boosting nutrition, and enhancing economic value.

Pollination by animals contributes to a third of global food production, but little research has been done into the extent to ...

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 ...
