Total abundance of bee species in savannas of low (Nazinga area), medium (Bontioli area) and high (Dano area) disturbance intensity in the south of Burkina Faso. Data were collected with pan traps for a period of 21 months in 2014 and 2015...
flower visitor observations were carried out for 180hours in the dry and rainy season 2014 in Dano, Burkina Faso. Flower visitors were considered as potential pollinators when either touching anthers or stigma of the flowers and thus potentially...
Fruit set of conventional upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) was highest after out cross pollination than after spontaneous selfing (pollinator exclusion).
The number of damaged (= non intact, not fully developed or aborted seeds, that are not viable) was significantly increased after spontaneous self-pollination than after cross pollination. This is a clear sign of inbreeding depression in the lack...
Insect visitor observations were carried out for 180hours in the dry and rainy season 2014 in Dano, Burkina Faso. Flower visitors were considered as nectar thieves when neither touching anthers nor stigma of the flowers during the visit and thus...
To investigate the breeding system of plant species, Amos Dafni provided different pollination treatments. Using these one can disentangle if a species is self-compatible or depending on outcross-pollination. Furthermore, one can get initial...
