JPE - Journal of Pollination Ecology
@jpollecol.bsky.social
JPE is an open access, peer-reviewed, scientific journal publishing knowledge and research on pollination. http://www.pollinationecology.org/
Discover an "Improved method for measuring pollen deposition by nectar-feeding bats: a case study using Nicotiana otophora Griseb. (Solanaceae)" by Hoyos Díaz et al. and how to allow the same flower to be reused multiple times: doi.org/10.26786/192...
Urban gardens are important green spaces, i.a. supporting pollinators. Carbajal-Velázquez et al. investigated the reproductive ecology of the perennial species Agastache mexicana (Lamiaceae) in Mexico and conclude that it is valuable planting it! See here: doi.org/10.26786/192...
