Lizards, mice, bats and other vertebrates are important pollinators too

Bees are not the only animals that carry pollen from flower to flower. Species with backbones, among them bats, birds, mice, and even lizards, also serve as pollinators. Although less familiar as flower visitors than insect pollinators, vertebrate pollinators are more likely to have coevolved tight relationships of high value to the plants they service, supplying essential reproductive aid for which few or no other species may substitute.

Journals and Publications

In the December issue of Ecological Applications , Bejarano et al. show biomass of herbivorous coral reef ﬁsh increased steeply following the cessation of muroami ﬁshing in an Indonesian marine park. Although assemblages remained functionally stable, rabbitﬁshes, like this pair of Siganus puellus with distinctively pronounced snouts capable of reaching cryptic algae, were one of the families that became particularly abundant. This increase contributes to the diversity mechanisms of turf algae removal throughout the park.

Living at the edges

By Washington State University 12/4/2019 PULLMAN, Wash. – Resembling an overgrown house cat with black-tipped ears and a stubby tail, the Canada lynx, a native of North America, teeters on the brink of extinction in the U.S. The few lynx that now roam parts of Washington and the mountainous Northwest survive largely because of a network of protected landscapes that crosses…

Yeasts in nectar can stimulate the growth of bee colonies

By KU Leuven 11/20/2019 Researchers from KU Leuven have discovered that the presence of yeasts can alter the chemical composition and thus the nutritional value of nectar for pollinators such as bees. The study discovered that yeasts can even boost bee health and colony fitness. “Research into the role of microbes in our ecosystem is of vital importance to safeguard bees.”…
