Without bees, moths, weevils, and more zooming around and spreading plants’ reproductive cells, plants and important crops would not grow. When these crucial pollinating species visit flowers and other plants, they produce a number of characteristic sounds, such as wing flapping when hovering, landing, and taking off. The bees in this genus are known to be efficient snapdragon pollinators. “The ability to discriminate approaching pollinators based on their distinctive vibroacoustic signals could be an adaptive strategy for plants,” said Barbero. “If this response from insects is confirmed, sounds could be used to treat economically relevant plants and crops, and increase their pollinators’ attraction,” said Barbero.
