Insect Pollinators
Many insects drink nectar and collect pollen from flowers, and in the process they help plants reproduce. Readers will investigate how bees, butterflies, ants, and other insects assist in pollination. Simple text and supportive photos and diagrams help readers understand key ideas and details about this important science concept.
Insect Pollination of Crops
The second edition of this text on the significance of insect pollination of crops has been expanded to include new information on many crops, particularly tropical ones, and on the use of managed populations of bees, both colonial and solitary.

Insects as Pollinators
Take a detailed look at the lives of insect pollinators, their methods, and how their activities affect humans. This title supports NGSS standards for Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics.
Know Your Pollinators
Did you know a honeybee visits about 50 to 100 flowers during each nectar-collection trip? You’ll discover loads of interesting facts about 35 common pollinating insects – from ladybugs, moths, and beetles to bees, wasps, flies, and butterflies – including appearance, history and breeding, and details of how to attract them to your garden. From ladybugs whose larvae love to munch on herbs like coriander, fennel, and dill, to nocturnal moths who prefer a flower’s scent to its color, this fun and fascinating pocket guide will turn both young and old into pollinator enthusiasts.
Temperate Agroforestry Systems
Organic animal production has increased rapidly in recent years to keep up with the increasing consumer demand for organic meats. There are many guidelines and restrictions on what should go into the feedstuffs of organically farmed animals, from which difficulties arise when trying to ensure a well-balanced, nutritious diet without the use of any supplements. The book has been completely updated and revised to address how to formulate organic diets in situations where there is a declining supply of organic feed, as well as the feasibility of utilizing novel feedstuffs and their acceptability by consumers of organic meat products. Including the experiences of producers in relation to appropriate breeds and production systems for forage-based organic production, this book is an important read for researchers and students of organic food animal production, veterinary sciences and food; as well as food industry personnel and organic farmers.
Insect Pollinators in the Anthropocene: How Multiple Environmental Stressors Are Shaping Pollinator Health
There is consensus that loss of biodiversity is a defining feature of the Anthropocene, with potentially severe consequences for human food security and well-being. Of particular concern are global declines in insect pollinators, such as bees, flies, beetles and butterflies, as their roles in sustaining ecosystem functions and ensuring food production are indispensable. A wide array of abiotic and biotic stressors likely govern the observed insect declines and losses of wild and managed insect pollinators, respectively. For instance, habitat destruction and fragmentation can not only lead to smaller and isolated populations that are vulnerable to environmental stochasticity or inbreeding dep...
Advances In Insect Pollination Technology In Sustainable Agriculture
This is a comprehensive, authentic, and standard book on unique fundamentals applied to advances in insect pollination technology in the sustainable agriculture industry. This book aims to accomplish the needs of undergraduate and postgraduate students in insect pollination technology. Entomologists, agronomists, horticulturists, environmental scientists, plant breeders, researchers, professionals, extension workers, seed producers, and industrial entrepreneurs will benefit from this book. The book is divided into fourteen chapters which deal with a broad and comprehensive range of topics on advance in insect pollination technology in sustainable agriculture, global agro-industry in the absence of insect pollinators – historical outlook, pollination concepts and crop production.
Tropical Fruit Pests and Pollinators
Insects and other pests cause major economic damage on fruit crops in the tropics. However, some insects are beneficial and have a role in pollinating flowers and thus enabling a fruit set. This book, written by leading authors from around the world, reviews the injurious and beneficial organisms and how they might be controlled to enhance fruit production and quality.
