Science
Botany
invasive plants verus native plants
Does this mean "made exclusive visits" - although I cannot find this on any Botany site!
Los investigadores observaron 23 insectos polinizadores para Carpobrotus y 17 para Opuntia. Las dos plantas invasoras presentan un efecto diferent respecto a las plantas nativas. En el primer caso, ningún insecto polinizador fue exclusivo, mientras que en el segundo, la abeja carpintera realizó visitas en exclusiva.
Thank you!
