The agent transferring the pollen; bees, flies or wind.
An animal that transfers pollen from one flower to another usually in the process of eating nectar and/or pollen.
the agent of pollen transfer, usually bees. Synonyms: pollenate, cross-pollinate. The most recognized pollinators are: bees, which are plainly adapted to pollination. bumblebees (also known as the pollen basket Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) also pollinate. Wasps, bombyliid flies and syrphid flies are important. Beetles, and even thrips or ants can sometimes pollinate self fertile flowers. Blue bottle or carrion flies are important for some flowers, usually ones that exude a fetid odor. Bats are important pollinators of some tropical flowers. Birds, particularly hummingbirds Even humans can be pollinators, as many gardeners have discovered that they must hand pollinate.
The vector such as wind, insects or birds which carries pollen from one flower to another.
an animal or insect that transfers pollen from one flower to another
An animal that moves pollen from the anther of a flower to the stigma.
an insect that carries pollen from one flower to another
A pollinator is an agent, generally an animal (insect, bird, bat, etc.) that carries pollen to the female part of a flower.
an agent that causes pollen to be transfered from one flower to another
the agent that transfers pollen from an anther to a stigma: bees, flies, beetles, etc.
an insect or other vehicle by which pollen is carried from one flower to another. A plant that provides pollen for a self-infertile plant.
organism that transfers pollen from the anther to the receptive area of a flower
Animal which carries pollen from one seed plant to another, unwittingly aiding the plant in its reproduction. Common pollinators include insects, especially bees, butterflies, and moths, birds, and bats.
A pollinator is the biotic agent (vector) 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 pollenizer, which is a plant that is a source of pollen for the pollination process.
