Pollinators – Increasing Global Public Awareness?
![Page 8: Dino Martins - People, plants and pollinators](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103010/58718f3a1a28ab2c198b714b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Pollinators: Increasing Scientific Awareness?
Data from Google™ Scholar
• More research is being done in the tropics
• Mutualisms (including pollination) are more widely studied and appreciated.
