Tis' the season of new life, and pollinators are in the air. The following websites offer information and resources for learning about the finer points of biotic and abiotic pollination. The first (1) site, The Pollination Home Page, was created by beekeeper David L. Green, and it contains a variety of great resources including a Photographic Plant / Pollinator Database with nice close-up photos and notes, video clips, and an extensive Index to Pollination Management Resources. The second site (2), from The Ohio State University, provides many links to Internet sites related to bees and pollination. The site's web resource categories include: Bee Biology, Pollination, Research, Bee Diseases & Pests, and more. The third (3) site is an extensive online USDA text authored by S.E. McGregor, titled Insect Pollination Of Cultivated Crop Plants. The fourth (4) site contains notes from a lecture on pollination that is part of a Plant Biology course at the University of Maryland. The fifth (5) site is an online lab on Flowers and Pollination that is connected to an Introductory Biology course at San Francisco State University. The sixth site (6), from the University of Northern British Columbia, is a list of references on abiotic pollination compiled by Dr. Joe Ackerman. The seventh site (7), from the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, provides a brief overview of pollination and dispersal. This site also contains a nice comparative list of several "pollinator types and their respective pollination syndromes." [NL]
