Buzz pollination, a type of interaction in which bees use vibrations to extract pollen from
certain kinds of flowers, captures a close relationship between thousands of bee and plant …

Pollinator behavior is vital to plant-pollinator interactions, affecting the acquisition of floral
rewards, patterns of pollen transfer, and plant reproductive success. During buzz pollination …

The widespread evolution of tube-like anthers releasing pollen from apical pores is
associated with buzz pollination, in which bees vibrate flowers to remove pollen. The …

Several agriculturally valuable plants store their pollen in tube-like poricidal anthers, which
release pollen through buzz pollination. In this process, bees rapidly vibrate the anther using …

A fundamental question in pollination ecology is how pollinators affect the evolution of
different floral forms. Yet functional effects of shifts in floral form for plant and pollinator are …

Asteraceae, one of the largest flowering plant families, are adapted to a vast range of
ecological niches. Their adaptability is partially based on their strong ability to reproduce …

Premise of research. Bees rely on pollen for growth and reproduction and have evolved a
variety of behaviors to remove pollen from plants with diverse floral morphologies. Notably …

Nearly half of the bee species can perform a fascinating stereotyped behavior to collect
pollen grains by vibrating flowers, known as buzz pollination. During the floral visit, these …

Buzz-pollination is used by some bees to expel pollen through vibrating flowers. Yet, little is
known about the determinants influencing bee preferences among buzz-pollinated flowers …
