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 ...

Pollination is the process where pollen is transferred from one flower to another in order to allow fertilization, this is spread by wind, insects, or other animals. If pollination is not able to ...

I've spent several years living in the wide-open spaces of Wyoming, and as an avid hiker, I enjoy the natural wonders that flourish in our windswept landscapes. Among them are the myriad ...

It’s been a rocky start to the 2024 growing season for many corn growers, with some parts of the Corn Belt enduring persistent rainfall, wind and hail. Those weather factors, along with rising ...

I believe most of us have a sense of what genetic engineering is all about — a method of inserting one or more genes of one species or individual into the chromosomes of another to gain a desired ...

Many plants, from crops to carnations, cannot bear fruit or reproduce without bees, beetles, butterflies and other insects to pollinate them. But the population of insect pollinators is dropping in ...

Homeowners with pollen allergies can still cultivate a beautiful garden by making pollen-conscious plant choices. Trees that rely on wind for pollination, such as oak and pine, produce significantly ...

Get a honeybee near a rose or a lavender and the insect will extend its strawlike tongue to search for nectar, pollinating the flower in the process. That’s at least how it works in clean environments ...

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 ...
