Many interactions of plants with the environment have an acoustic component, including the
actions of herbivores and pollinators, wind and rain. Although plants have long been tested …

Currently, science and technology are continuously evolving by convergence with each
other. In agriculture, new concepts such as smart farm, vertical farming, and urban …

Pollinator behavior is vital to plant-pollinator interactions, affecting the acquisition of floral
rewards, patterns of pollen transfer, and plant reproductive success. During buzz pollination …

The widespread evolution of tube-like anthers releasing pollen from apical pores is
associated with buzz pollination, in which bees vibrate flowers to remove pollen. The …

An estimated 10% of flowering plant species conceal their pollen within tube-like anthers
that dehisce through small apical pores (poricidal anthers). Bees extract pollen from …

Buzz pollination is a specialized pollination syndrome that requires vibrational energy to
extract concealed pollen grains from poricidal anthers. Although a large body of work has …

A fundamental question in pollination ecology is how pollinators affect the evolution of
different floral forms. Yet functional effects of shifts in floral form for plant and pollinator are …
