Abstract The genus Amorphophallus encompasses some 230 species and is one of the largest genera Araceae family. Most release scents, smelling carrion, faeces, dung similar nauseating odours for pollinator attraction are therefore considered to have evolved a deceptive pollination syndrome. Some most iconic members genus, such as A . titanum gigas , be carrion mimics. Copro-necrophagous insects,...

Wild bees provide a free and potentially diverse ecosystem service to farmers growing pollination-dependent crops. While many crops benefit from insect pollination, soft fruit crops, including strawberries are highly dependent on this ecosystem service to produce viable fruit. However, as a result of intensive farming practices and declining pollinator populations, farmers are increasingly turn...

Thirty-five percent of global production from crops including at least 800 cultivated plants depend on animal pollination. The transformation of agriculture in the past half-century has triggered a decline in bees and other insect pollinators. In North America, losses of bee colonies have accelerated since 2004, leaving the continent with fewer managed pollinators than at any time in the past 5...

The research of the diversity pollinator insects species in Cocoa plantations Puudongi village, Kolono region, South Konawe district, Southeast Sulawesi was conducted 2016. Ssample collecting by using yellow pan traps, light adhesive trap and sweep net. Insects analyzed Shannon-Wienner formula. Data presented tables graphics. results showed that insect consist 9 7 families. pollinators family a...

Global warming has been predicted to cause big changes in terrestrial natural ecosystems and processes. Forests, being a part of ecosystems, help the regulation biogeochemical processes functions. Insect pollination is one function that useful forest ecosystem as well associated agroecosystems. Climate change thought be principal factor can influence activities, distribution, abundance insect p...
