“Pollinators are really a keystone group that other organisms
rely on,” says Eric Mader. “Pollination is almost as
essential to life as water and oxygen.”
It is estimated that at least 80% of
plants on earth rely on pollinators in
order to reproduce. Without pollinators,
many of our favorite foods would fade
from existence. Imagine...
A pollinator is the biotic agent that moves pollen from the male anthers of a flower to the female stigma of a flower to accomplish fertilization or 'syngamy' of the female gamete in the ovule of the flower by the male gamete from the pollen grain. Though the terms are sometimes confused, a pollinator is different from a pollelizer, which is a plant that is a source of pollen for the polli...
Conservation
of plants and pollinators is very essential for today environment. It’s all

work of conservation is like assembly you up to a life-support system ran by a

Ornithophily or bird pollination is the pollination of flowering plants by
birds. This co-evolutionary association is derived from
insect pollination. The
association involves several distinctive plant adaptations forming a “pollination
syndrome”. The plants typically have colorful, often red, flowers with long tubular
structures holding ample nectar and orientations of the stamen and stigma that
ensure contact...
