Pollination ecology is a branch of ecology that focuses on the interactions between plants and their pollinators. Pollination is the process by which pollen is transferred from the male reproductive organs of a flower to the female reproductive organs, resulting in fertilization and the production of seeds. Pollination ecology studies the various factors that influence this process, including the behavior of pollinators, the traits of flowers that attract pollinators, and the effects of environmental changes on pollination dynamics. This research area is important for understanding the diversity and distribution of plant species, as well as for informing conservation efforts to protect pollinator populations and promote plant reproduction.
