Summary:
When it comes to sex between plants, tiny
bees the size of ladybugs play a critical role in promoting long-distance
pairings. That's what scientists discovered after one of the most detailed
paternity tests in wild trees ever conducted. The research gives new insights
into how certain bees promote genetic diversity that is essential for plants to
adapt to various threats, from disease to climate change.
