Abstract
- The article "Pollination by Ants, Camel Crickets, and Cockroaches in a Non-Photosynthetic Plant" explores the pollination biology of the non-photosynthetic plant Balanophora subcupularis. The study found that camel crickets and cockroaches are effective pollinators due to carrying large quantities of pollen, while ants make a significant collective contribution through frequent visits. The research suggests that these insects play a crucial role in pollinating B. subcupularis, especially in environments where typical pollinators are scarce. [Extracted from the article]
