Identifying Pollinators: A Look at the Criteria Used to Differentiate Insects
A new study by researchers from the University of Leicester has made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of entomology. They have identified a set of criteria for differentiating between pollinating insects and those presumed to be harmless. These criteria include the insect’s size, shape, color, and behavior. The research has implications for helping scientists to better understand the role of pollinators in ecosystem health, as well as for management of pollination services. This research could also be useful for farmers who are looking to protect their crops from insect pests.
