Abstract

Plants and animals constitute the biotic component of every ecosystem. They interact with each other in many ways. Some interactions are synergistic and others antagonistic. But for one the survival of the other group and that of the ecosystem itself gets threatened. One of the arees of interaction between plants and animals is the pollination biology. The entomophilous pollination involves interaction between flowering plants and certain groups of insects. Entomophily has specific requirements, the entomophilous flowers are large, colourful, scented and zygomorphic. All these characteristics draw insects towards flowers and in the process pollination is effected.
