Pollination is one of the most important processes in nature. It links plants and animals and is responsible for the biodiversity on our planet. Pollination is also critical for many of our food products. We hear these things all time, but what is pollination? Who are the pollinators? And, how do plants attract their pollinators? These questions and more will be addressed in this lecture.
