Simple Summary There is a rising demand for food security in the face of threats posed by a
growing human population. Bees as an insect play a crucial role in crop pollination …

Approximately 6% of flowering plant species possess flowers with anthers that open through
small pores or slits. Extracting pollen from this type of specialised flower is achieved most …

Bees play an important role in agriculture and ecology, and their pollination efficiency is
essential to the economic profitability of farms. The drastic decrease in bee populations …

Over 22,000 species of biotically pollinated flowering plants, including some major
agricultural crops, depend primarily on bees capable of floral sonication for pollination …

Buzz pollination encompasses the evolutionary convergence of specialized floral
morphologies and pollinator behaviour in which bees use vibrations (floral buzzes) to …

Global pollinator decline urgently requires effective methods to assess their trends,
distribution and behaviour. Passive acoustics is a non-invasive and cost-efficient monitoring …

Background In nature, shooting mechanisms are used for a variety of purposes, including
prey capture, defense, and reproduction. This review offers insight into the working …

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 …

Body size is an important trait linking pollinators and plants. Morphological matching
between pollinators and plants is thought to reinforce pollinator fidelity, as the correct fit …

Bee-mediated pollination greatly increases the size and weight of tomato fruits. Therefore,
distinguishing between the local set of bees–those that are efficient pollinators–is essential …
