Transmission of bee-like vibrations in buzz-pollinated plants with different stamen architectures

L Nevard, AL Russell, K Foord, M Vallejo-Marín - Scientific reports, 2021 - nature.com
In buzz-pollinated plants, bees apply thoracic vibrations to the flower, causing pollen release
from anthers, often through apical pores. Bees grasp one or more anthers with their …
