Xu X.L., 2024, Interactions between pollinators and plant genetic diversity and their effects on community dynamics, International Journal of Molecular Ecology and Conservation, 14(1): 10-17 (doi: 10.5376/ijmec.2024.14.0002)

The study explores the interactions between pollinators and plant genetic diversity and their impact on community dynamics. Complex interactions exist between pollinators and plants, shaping not only the ecological relationships between them but also profoundly influencing plant reproduction and adaptive evolution. The study introduces the diversity of pollinators and their interactions with plants, including mutualistic symbiosis, pollen competition and strategies, and the formation of pollen food webs. It then delves into the close relationship between pollinators and plant genetic diversity. Furthermore, it discusses the practical applications of these relationships, including their management in agricultural and natural ecosystems, as well as conservation and restoration efforts. The study summarizes key findings, outlines future research directions, emphasizes the importance of pollinators and plant genetic diversity in ecosystems, and aims to provide a scientific foundation for environmental conservation and ecological balance.
