| [melissopalynology and trophic niche of apis cerana ceraca and apis mellifera ligustica in yunnan province of southwest china]. | in 2010 and 2011, the honey samples of apis cerana cerana and a. mellifera ligustica were collected from kunming and mengzi of yunnan province, respectively, aimed to analyze the melissopalynology and tropic niche of the two bee species. the absolute pollen concentration of the honey of a. cerana cerana was 1.55 x 10(4) ind x g(-1), being significantly higher than that (1.01 x 10(4) ind x g(-1)) of a. mellifera ligustica, and the number of nectar plant species collected by a. cerana cerana was 1 ... | 2013 | 23718011 |
| insect pollination and self-incompatibility in edible and/or medicinal crops in southwestern china, a global hotspot of biodiversity. | an increasing global demand for food, coupled with the widespread decline of pollinator diversity, remains an international concern in agriculture and genetic conservation. in particular, there are large gaps in the study of the pollination of economically important and traditionally grown species in china. many plant species grown in china are both edible and used medicinally. the country retains extensive written records of agricultural and apicultural practices, facilitating contemporary stud ... | 2014 | 25326615 |
