Voorbeelden van pollinating

• The absence of other major pollinating species in this system is likely to cause competition among plants to attract the same visitors.

• However, some insects are beneficial and have a role in pollinating flowers, thus enabling fruit set.

• Two other factors contributing to the pollinating capacity of a pollinator species are flower fidelity and foraging activity thresholds.

• The wasps are deceived into pollinating the inflorescences on female plants, but fail to reproduce.

• The eventual establishment of any new pollinator depends on its pollinating performance, sustainability, and manageability, as well as on its economic cost.

• Selfing was achieved by pollinating immature flower buds with pollen from open flowers of the same plant.

• For the same reason, counting pollen grains on the pollinator's body does not provide a good indication of its pollinating ability.

• Protracted pre-emergence and emergence periods are undesirable when pollinating short-blooming crops such as fruit trees.

• Male euglossine bees collect fragrances produced by flowers for reasons not yet clearly understood, pollinating them during this process.

• Pollination could be impaired in these fragments because isolation often negatively influences the dispersal of insects, the most important pollinating agents in the tropics.

• At a finer scale, among genera pollinating monoecious figs we found marked differences in flight behaviour (height and time-of-dispersal).

• Thus, either self-pollination or cross-pollination can be found in olives, with wind being the main pollinating agent.

• Pollinating bees - the conservation link between agriculture and nature.
