Tropical Agricultural Areas Face Unprecedented Pollinator Collapse The hardest hit regions appear to be sub-Saharan Africa, ...
Bees and other insects leave behind tiny ‘footprints’ of environmental DNA on plants each time they visit, giving researchers a way of tracking where insects have been, and offering clues on how to ...
Insect pollination, despite its potential to contribute substantially to crop production, is not an integrated part of agronomic planning. A major reason for this are knowledge gaps in the ...
