Precision glycerine jelly swab for removing pollen from small and fragile insect specimens

Abstract: Historical datasets can establish a critical baseline of plant–animal interactions for understanding contemporary interactions in the context of global change. Pollen is often incidentally preserved on animals in natural history collections. Techniques for removing pollen from insects have largely been developed for fresh insect specimens or historical specimens with large amounts of pollen on specialized structures. However, many key pollinating insects do not have these specialized structures and thus, there… Show more

“…Ivison et al (2023) in Journal of Ecology examined 2200 herbarium specimens from 26 species over 195 years and found little support for the enemy release hypothesis. In Methods in Ecology and Evolution , Donald et al (2023) describe how to use precision glycerine jelly swabs to remove pollen from pinned insect specimens, which might allow for reconstructing historic pollination networks.…”
