Pollination ecology examines how pollen is transferred between plants and how floral traits, environmental conditions and pollinator communities shape reproductive success. Insect‐mediated pollination ...

The Laramie chickensage is unusual among the hundreds of species of sagebrush, most of which are primarily pollinated by the wind. A rare species of sagebrush found only in southeast Wyoming survives ...

Insect pollination is a decisive process for the survival and evolution of angiosperm (flowering) plants and, to a lesser extent, gymnosperms (without visible flower or fruit). There is a growing ...

Plants existed on Earth for hundreds of millions of years before the first flowers bloomed. But when flowering plants did evolve, more than 140 million years ago, they were a huge evolutionary success ...

A rare species of sagebrush found only in southeast Wyoming survives primarily through pollination by bees, according to new research led by a University of Wyoming graduate student. That makes the ...
