0 something, such as an insect, that carries pollen from one plant or part of a plant to another: --
Contradictions and inaccuracies abound, some insignificant, some important, some just irritating (pollenizer rather than pollinator).
Non-equivalent limiting factors may be biotic, such as pollinators and herbivores, or abiotic, such as available nutrients and water.
When receptive, the stigmas release a species-specific fragrance, and the bracts in the neck of the inflorescence loosen, allowing the pollinators to enter.
Two other factors contributing to the pollinating capacity of a pollinator species are flower fidelity and foraging activity thresholds.
It deals with the major bee-pollinated crops of temperate regions, and gives correspondingly wide geographical coverage of the major bee species managed as pollinators.
Pollinator numbers were transformed to yield a count of individuals, per km of transect walked for each sampling occasion and year total.
Later in the life cycle, pollen is vectored by a new generation of pollinators reared in gall figs.
Flowermorph-specific correlation suggests that natural selection by pollinators has moulded trait covariance among floral traits.
