The duration of the flowering period and the fraction of open flowers over time were defined as functions of growing degree-days for 5 almond cultivar...

Whilst most studies reviewing the reliance of global agriculture on insect pollination advocate increasing the 'supply' of pollinators (wild or manage...

Bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum) plants were grown in 5 × 5 cm pots at densities of 2, 4, 8 and 16 plants/pot and treated with 0, 100, 200 and 400 µg gal...

Foraging by honey bees was studied in 1988 and 1989 in an orchard containing 5 cross-pollinating varieties of almond (Prunus dulcis). Every foraging h...

Forests provide an immense range of benefits to people, many of which are not prioritized by forest policy because they are difficult to quantify. Wil...

Identifying the resources that limit growth of animal populations is essential for effective conservation; however, resource limitation is difficult t...

Pollination services are critical in entomophilous crops. Relationships between pollinator visits and fruit set and mass are complex and optimal strat...

The relative importance of ecosystem services and disservices can change with landscape structure in a poorly understood way. We compare the impact of...

Aspects of the flowering biology of wild cashew A. occidentale, an andromonoecious, self-fertile tree, were investigated in north-east Brazil, where t...
