Bees forage and utilize centipedegrass pollenNARA Subscribed
Bees are crucial for pollination, producing 35% of the world’s fruits, nuts, and vegetables. However, the decline in bee populations due to habitat loss, monoculture farming, pesticide use, and urbanization threatens biodiversity and agricultural sustainability. Thus, it is critical to identify additional resources for pollinators. Centipedegrass ( Eremochloa ophiuroides ) is a common turfgrass in the southeastern United State...
Understanding the Foraging Behavior of Sweat Bees, Bumble Bees, and Honey Bees on Centipedegrass for Conservation StrategiesNARA Subscribed
Bees, primarily including Lasioglossum spp. (sweat bees), Bombus spp. (bumble bees), and Apis mellifera (honey bees), have been recently reported to forage on centipedegrass spikes. However, the specific interactions between these different bee groups and the spikes during foraging have not been fully understood. This information is critical for optimizing pollination services and guiding conservation efforts of bees in manage...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open accessNARA Subscribed
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodivers...
