Table of the 10 most abundant bee species in fields of a) conventional cotton
(Gossypium hirsutum) and b) sesame (Sesamum indicum) and their abundances in
savanna sites in all three study areas. Data were collected with pantraps for
a period of...
The floral anthesis of flowers of Moringa oleifera were carried out in 2014
in Dano, Burkina Faso.
The flowers are open for several days and proteandrous, e.g. the anthers
release pollen before the stigma (female part) is receptive. After the...
flower visitor observations were carried out for 180hours in the dry and
rainy season 2014 in Dano, Burkina Faso.
Flower visitors were considered as potential pollinators when either touching
anthers or stigma of the flowers and thus potentially...
Fruit set of conventional upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) was highest
after out cross pollination than after spontaneous selfing (pollinator
exclusion).
Total abundance of bee species in savannas of low (Nazinga area), medium
(Bontioli area) and high (Dano area) disturbance intensity in the south of
Burkina Faso. Data were collected with pan traps for a period of 21 months in
2014 and 2015...
The number of damaged (= non intact, not fully developed or aborted seeds,
that are not viable) was significantly increased after spontaneous
self-pollination than after cross pollination. This is a clear sign of
inbreeding depression in the lack...
Insect visitor observations were carried out for 180hours in the dry and
rainy season 2014 in Dano, Burkina Faso.
Flower visitors were considered as nectar thieves when neither touching
anthers nor stigma of the flowers during the visit and thus...
Moringa oleifera is a multi purpose tree rich in vitamins and can serve as
valuable nutrition source for the local population in West-Africa.
Furthermore, leaves are being dried and processed to powder which is sold at
local markets. The seeds...
Taxonomic list of Hymenoptera visitor species to the flowers of conventional
upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum, Malvaceae) and sesame (Sesamum indicum,
Pedaliaceae), their number of visits and their efficiency in terms of fruit
set. Crosses...
Fibremass (lint mass) of conventional upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) was
significantly higher after outcross pollination than after selfing. Hence,
outcross pollination (e.g.transfer of pollen from flowers of one individual
to another...
