Is the Artificial Pollination of Walnut Trees with Drones Able to Minimize the Presence of Xanthomonas arboricola pv. juglandis? A Review
I Manthos, T Sotiropoulos, I Vagelas - Applied Sciences, 2024 - mdpi.com
Walnut (Juglans regia L.) is a monoecious species and although it exhibits self-compatibility,
it presents incomplete overlap of pollen shed and female receptivity. Thus, cross-pollination …

Bee movement between natural fragments is rare despite differences in species, patch, and matrix variables
Context Persistence of organisms in fragmented landscapes often depends on the ability of
individuals to move between habitat patches. This movement can be limited by variables of …

Assessing the links between pollinators and the genetic and epigenetic features of plant species with contrasting distribution ranges
In flowering plants, pollinators contribute to gene flow while they also respond to variation in
plant traits together determined by genetic, epigenetic and environmental sources of …
