Résumé :
|
The Symposium was attended by about 90 scientists from more than 30 countries. This offered a very good opportunity for the international participants to present and discuss their new research results in pollination ecology. The lectures were organised into sessions with invited keynote lectures as well as oral presentations for each session. A poster session was also organised. The themes of the oral sessions were: Pollen, including advertisement, availability , stigma interactions, nutritional aspects Nectar, including production, quality, preferences Pollen flow, including hybrid crops, transgenic crops, wild plant conservation, gene flow, genetic markers Pollinator diversity including non-Apis bees Pollination in plant genetic resource conservation Pollination in sustainable agroecosystems including conservation of and competition between pollinators Managing wild bees for pollination The topics covered the biological and ecological aspects of pollination of plants by insects with emphasis on insect pollination problems of cultivated crop plants, including traditional methods of insect pollination in sustainable agriculture as well as specific insect pollination problems of gene banks, hybrid seed production and GMO crop cultivars. Both pollination of agricultural crop plants by honeybees and the management and introduction of wild bee pollinators of agricultural crops were discussed.
