Pollinators and Pollination : Nature and Society
A unique and personal insight into the ecology and evolution of pollinators, their relationships with flowers, and their conservation in a rapidly changing world. The pollination of flowers by insects, birds and other animals is a fundamentally important ecological function that supports both the natural world and human society.Without pollinators to facilitate the sexual reproduction of plants, the world would be a biologically poorer place in which to live, there would be an impact on food security, and human health would suffer. Written by one of the world's leading pollination ecologists, this book provides an introduction to what pollinators are, how their interactions with flowers have evolved, and the fundamental ecology of these relationships.It explores the pollination of wild and agricultural plants in a variety of habitats and contexts, including urban, rural and agricultural environments.The author also provides practical advice on how individuals and organisations can study, and support, pollinators. As well as covering the natural history of pollinators and flowers, the author discusses their cultural importance, and the ways in which pollinator conservation has been portrayed from a political perspective.The book draws on field work experiences in South America, Africa, Australia, the Canary Islands and the UK. For over 30 years the author has spent his career researching how plants and pollinators evolve relationships, how these interactions function ecologically, their importance for society, and how we can conserve them in a rapidly changing world.This book offers a unique and personal insight into the science of pollinators and pollination, aimed at anyone who is interested in understanding these fascinating and crucial ecological interactions.

Wildlife in the Anthropocene : Conservation after Nature
Elephants rarely breed in captivity and are not considered domesticated, yet they interact with people regularly and adapt to various environments.Too social and sagacious to be objects, too strange to be human, too captive to truly be wild, but too wild to be domesticated—where do elephants fall in our understanding of nature?In Wildlife in the Anthropocene, Jamie Lorimer argues that the idea of nature as a pure and timeless place characterized by the absence of humans has come to an end.But life goes on. Wildlife inhabits everywhere and is on the move; Lorimer proposes the concept of wildlife as a replacement for nature.Offering a thorough appraisal of the Anthropocene—an era in which human actions affect and influence all life and all systems on our planet— Lorimer unpacks its implications for changing definitions of nature and the politics of wildlife conservation.Wildlife in the Anthropocene examines rewilding, the impacts of wildlife films, human relationships with charismatic species, and urban wildlife.Analyzing scientific papers, policy documents, and popular media, as well as a decade of fieldwork, Lorimer explores the new interconnections between science, politics, and neoliberal capitalism that the Anthropocene demands of wildlife conservation.Imagining conservation in a world where humans are geological actors entangled within and responsible for powerful, unstable, and unpredictable planetary forces, this work nurtures a future environmentalism that is more hopeful and democratic.

What is the difference between self-pollination and cross-pollination?
Self-pollination occurs when pollen from the same plant fertilizes the ovules within the same flower or between different flowers on the same plant. This can happen through the transfer of pollen by wind, water, or self-pollinating mechanisms. On the other hand, cross-pollination involves the transfer of pollen from the male reproductive organ of one plant to the female reproductive organ of another plant of the same species. This process promotes genetic diversity and can result in stronger, more resilient offspring.
-
What is pollination in flowers?
Pollination in flowers is the process by which pollen from the male reproductive organs (anthers) of a flower is transferred to the female reproductive organs (stigma) of the same or another flower, leading to fertilization and the production of seeds. This transfer of pollen can occur through various means, including wind, water, and animals such as bees, butterflies, and birds. Pollination is essential for the reproduction of flowering plants and the production of fruits and seeds.

Which camera is suitable for nature and wildlife photography?
A suitable camera for nature and wildlife photography would be a DSLR or mirrorless camera with a high resolution sensor (20+ megapixels) for capturing fine details, a fast and accurate autofocus system for capturing moving subjects, and a weather-sealed body to withstand outdoor conditions. Additionally, a camera with a good burst rate for capturing fast-moving wildlife and a long battery life for extended shooting sessions would be beneficial. Some popular options for nature and wildlife photography include the Canon EOS 90D, Nikon D850, and Sony A7R IV.

How does pollination occur in insects?
Pollination in insects occurs when they visit flowers in search of nectar or pollen. As they feed, they inadvertently brush against the reproductive parts of the flower, picking up pollen grains. When the insect moves to another flower of the same species, some of this pollen is transferred to the stigma, fertilizing the flower. This process allows for the successful reproduction of many plant species with the help of insect pollinators.

Crop Pollination by Bees, Volume 2 : Individual Crops and their Bees
Since the second half of the 20th Century, our agricultural bee pollinators have faced mounting threats from ecological disturbance and pan-global movement of pathogens and parasites.At the same time, the area of pollinator-dependent crops is increasing globally with no end in sight.Never before has so much been asked of our finite pool of bee pollinators.This book not only explores the evolutionary and ecologic bases of these dynamics, it translates this knowledge into practical research-based guidance for using bees to pollinate crops.It emphasizes conserving wild bee populations as well as culturing honey bees, bumble bees, and managed solitary bees.To cover such a range of biology, theory, and practice from the perspectives of both the pollinator and the crop, the book is divided into two volumes.Volume 1 focuses on bees, their biology, coevolution with flowering plants, foraging ecology and management, and gives practical ways to increase bee abundance and pollinating performance on the farm.Volume 2 (this volume) focuses on crops, with chapters addressing crop-specific requirements and bee pollination management recommendations.Both volumes are essential reading for farmers, horticulturists and gardeners, researchers and professionals working in insect ecology and conservation, and students of entomology and crop protection.

How does the pollination of insects occur?
Insect pollination occurs when insects, such as bees, butterflies, and beetles, visit flowers in search of nectar or pollen. As they move from flower to flower, they inadvertently transfer pollen from the male reproductive parts of one flower to the female reproductive parts of another. This transfer of pollen allows for fertilization and the production of seeds and fruits. Insects are attracted to flowers by their colors, scents, and nectar, and in the process of feeding, they facilitate the crucial process of pollination.
-
What forms of pollination exist in primroses?
Primroses exhibit both self-pollination and cross-pollination. Self-pollination occurs when the plant's own pollen fertilizes its own ovules, leading to genetic uniformity. Cross-pollination, on the other hand, involves the transfer of pollen from one plant to another, promoting genetic diversity. Primroses can be pollinated by insects, such as bees and butterflies, as well as by wind.
-
Do grapes only grow with pollination by bees?
No, grapes do not require pollination by bees to grow. Grapes are self-pollinating plants, meaning they have both male and female reproductive parts within the same flower, allowing them to pollinate themselves. While bees can help with pollination and increase grape yields, they are not necessary for grape production.
-
What terms exist for external and internal pollination?
External pollination occurs when pollen is transferred between flowers by an external agent, such as wind, water, or animals. Internal pollination, on the other hand, occurs when pollen is transferred within the same flower or between flowers of the same plant. Both types of pollination are essential for the reproduction of many plant species.
