The last glacial expansion ended about 10,000 years ago, and all civilizations evolved later than this. Scientists do not predict that a natural ice age will occur anytime soon. [ citation needed ] The amount of heat-trapping gases emitted into Earth's oceans and atmosphere will prevent the next ice age, which otherwise would begin in around ...
Pollinator decline is the reduction in abundance of insect and other animal pollinators in many ecosystems worldwide that began being recorded at the end of the 20th century. Multiple lines of evidence exist for the reduction of wild pollinator populations at the regional level, especially within Europe and North America.
Pollination by a specialist can result in high flowering synchrony, as asynchronous flowering can result in erratic attraction of a specialist to a site. [19] Showy floral displays tend to attract pollinators, [20] [21] and synchronous flowering can attract more pollinators to a population. High pollinator visitation to populations with high ...
Insects with population trends documented by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, for orders Collembola, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Odonata, and Orthoptera. A 2020 meta-analysis found that globally terrestrial insects appear to be declining in abundance at a rate of about 9% per decade, while the abundance of freshwater insects appears to be increasing by 11% per decade.

A New Vision for Gardens—Designed for Pollinators, Not People. The gardens are not designed to please humans but rather pollinators, including birds, bats, moths, wasps, and beetles.
Two-thirds have had their spring events occur earlier. [8] Several European bird species' breeding seasons have been shifted to earlier periods, as indicated by the shifts in nestling ringing dates. [28] The range of hundreds of North American birds has shifted northward at an average rate of 1.5 km/year over the past 55 years. [29]
Self-pollination can occur with or without the aid of animals. When animal-mediated, sexual organs will be positioned closer spatially and temporally, inverse to the strategies of dichogamy and herkogamy. However, when self-pollination is self-induced by the flower, some unique mechanisms have evolved.
