Bees 'betray' their flowers when pollinator species decline

[unable to retrieve full-text content]Remove even one bumblebee species from an ecosystem and the impact is swift and clear: their floral "sweethearts" produce significantly fewer seeds. The results show how reduced competition among pollinators disrupts floral fidelity, or specialization, among the remaining bees in the system, leading to less successful plant reproduction. The alarming trend suggests that global declines in pollinators could have a bigger impact on flowering plants and food crops than was previously realized.
