More than 130 years after a fungus-eating orchid species was discovered, the purpose of its mysterious appendage has been ...

This diversity in pollination methods underscores the evolutionary adaptations that orchids have developed to ensure successful reproduction. Another area of research has focused on the chemical ...

Kobe University researcher has uncovered the purpose of the structure that inspired its name—revealing a novel mechanism by ...

Human impacts go beyond fragmentation of habitat to other modifications. We are interested in how anthropogenic impacts from farming to logging to cattle grazing affect bee communities and pollination ...

Cross-pollination: The pollen grain lands on a different flower to the one it originated from. As plants cannot move like animals they must adopt a different method of transferring these pollen ...

A more efficient artificial pollination method could enable future farmers to grow fruits and vegetables in multilevel warehouses, increasing yields while reducing agriculture’s environmental ...

Kobe University researcher has uncovered the purpose of the structure that inspired its name — revealing a novel mechanism by which plants ensure reproduction.

It can even precisely track a trajectory that spells M-I-T. A more efficient artificial pollination method could enable future farmers to grow fruits and vegetables in multilevel warehouses ...

Despite the team’s improvements, the robotic insects still cannot match the capabilities of natural pollinators. However, the researchers aim to improve the robots’ flight time and precision to enable ...

With a more efficient method for artificial pollination, farmers in the future could grow fruits and vegetables inside multilevel warehouses, boosting yields while mitigating some of agriculture's ...
