Simple Summary When weeds are left in mango farms, especially native wildflowers, there
is a potential they may provide pollen and nectar to increase beneficial insect abundance …

Mango is an economically important fruit crop in tropical regions, including parts of Australia.
However, the contribution of native flower visitors to mango pollination and fruit set is …

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is one of the main tropical fruit crops worldwide. Although
mostly grown in open fields, protected cultivation of mango has recently increased …

Hybrid seed production often relies on managed pollinators whose use in isolation cages
can pose challenges. Here, we evaluated the pollination ability of the novel managed …

Simple Summary Watermelon is an important crop worldwide. However, pollination is a
challenge in new commercial seedless cultivars, exacerbated by the decline in pollinators …

Sweet cherry (Prunus avium) production relies on modern growing practices like polytunnel
coverings to improve yields but this may interrupt arthropod-mediated ecosystem services …

Floral attractants and rewards are essential in plant-pollinator interaction, pollen transfer to
and from the flowers, and hence in crop production. In this trial, we determined the …

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Eristalinus aeneus (a hoverfly;
Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Syrphidae). The genome sequence is 495.4 megabases in …

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is an important crop worldwide. Pollination of this crop is
carried out by insects, with honey bees (Apis spp.) and bumble bees (Bombus spp.) as the …

A diverse assemblage of insect visitors can provide functional complementarity within plant
pollination due to differences in characteristics such as their physical traits, visitation rate …
