Hi all,<br><br>Just a quick question for the listserve...we have heaps of records of parasitoid wasps visiting flowers (we are especially interested in braconids), but I can't seem to find a reference regarding their role in pollination. Kevan (1973) states that they do carry pollen but that their role in pollination is doubtful. Van der Pijl (1979) seems equally dubious. But these are both old references.<br>
<br>Does anyone have thoughts/opinions/references on whether or not they can also act as pollinators?<br><br><br>Thank you for your time!<br>Laura Russo<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>PhD Candidate<br>Intercollege Graduate Degree Program in Ecology<br>
