pollinations
Pollen transfer events
Pollinations refers to instances of pollen transfer from male to female plant parts, enabling fertilization.
The word appears in botanical and agricultural contexts discussing multiple pollination events or types: Cross-pollinations between different apple varieties improve fruit yield.
The study tracked bee pollinations across three meadows.

- hummingbirdsTiny hovering nectar feeders
- mothsNocturnal lepidopterans
