“…Thrips have been noticed in the flowering period of coffee species C. arabica L. and C. canephora L. in the southern state of Chiapas, Mexico in three flowering seasons (2013)(2014)(2015). Several species of thrips on coffee flower were noticed to be carrying a few pollen grains on their bodies [217]. Bees have increased fruit production of coffee by 50% more than wind in shaded coffee agro-forests, South India.…”

Pollination plays a significant role in the agriculture sector and serves as a basic pillar for crop production. Plants depend on vectors to move pollen, which can include water, wind, and animal pollinators like bats, moths, hoverflies, birds, bees, butterflies, wasps, thrips, and beetles. Cultivated plants are typically pollinated by animals. Animal-based pollination contributes to 30% of global food production, and bee-pollinated crops contribute to approximately one-third of the total human dietary supply. Bees are considered significant pollinators due to their effectiveness and wide availability. Bee pollination provides excellent value to crop quality and quantity, improving global economic and dietary outcomes. This review highlights the role played by bee pollination, which influences the economy, and enlists the different types of bees and other insects associated with pollination.

“…(Arecaceae; oil palm) [61]. Thrips also inhabit flowers of Coffea canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner (Rubiaceae; coffee) in high abundance, carrying pollen on their bodies, and may therefore supplement the pollination services of bees [62]. Fewer studies of thrips pollinating temperate crops exist, but Sambucus nigra L. (Adoxaceae; elderflower) flowers open at night and fruit set was found to be reduced in populations in southern England when thrips were excluded from inflorescences [47].…”

Existing assessments of the ecosystem service of pollination have been largely restricted to diurnal insects, with a particular focus on generalist foragers such as wild and honey bees. As knowledge of how these plant-pollinator systems function, their relevance to food security and biodiversity, and the fragility of these mutually beneficial interactions increases, attention is diverting to other, less well-studied pollinator groups. One such group are those that forage at night. In this review, we document evidence that nocturnal species are providers of pollination services (including pollination of economically valuable and culturally important crops, as well as wild plants of conservation concern), but highlight how little is known about the scale of such services. We discuss the primary mechanisms involved in night-time communication between plants and insect pollen-vectors, including floral scent, visual cues (and associated specialized visual systems), and thermogenic sensitivity (associated with thermogenic flowers). We highlight that these mechanisms are vulnerable to direct and indirect disruption by a range of anthropogenic drivers of environmental change, including air and soil pollution, artificial light at night, and climate change. Lastly, we highlight a number of directions for future research that will be important if nocturnal pollination services are to be fully understood and ultimately conserved.

“…Thysanoptera is expected to be more diverse in natural systems or those less altered by the action of man. More than 2,000 species are recorded from the Neotropics, but their interactions and distributions are little known (Mound 2002, Goldaracena et al 2012, Rocha et al 2012, Infante et al 2017). Therefore, knowledge of the functionality of species is a priority, particularly the interactions with cultivated and native plants.…”

“…Thrips are opportunistic insects that exhibit a wide range of life stories, most species are fungivorous and phytophagous, while a few are predators. The number of thrips present is remarkable, especially when the crops are flowering as in Infante et al (2017).…”

The composition and structure of thrips populations were determined in agroecosystems of 10 crops in the Andean, Caribbean, and Orinoquia regions of Colombia. From 18,183 identified specimens, 81 species belonging to 20 genera and three families were found. The Andean region was the most diverse with 60 species ( n = 11,360, Chao 1 = 70.5, H′ = 1.986), followed by the Caribbean region with 42 ( n = 5,960, Chao 1 = 57.6, H′ = 2.256) and the Orinoquia with 24 ( n = 863, Chao 1 = 31; H′ = 2.301). The crop with the richest fauna was avocado ( Persea americana ) Mill. with 40 species ( n = 4,047, Chao 1 = 55.17, H′ = 1.302), followed by coffee ( Coffea arabica ) L. with 26 ( n = 1,395, Chao 1 = 33; H′ = 1.026), cassava ( Manihot esculenta ) Crantz. with 25 ( n = 1,050, Chao 1 = 29.67, H′ = 1.635), citrus ( Citrus spp.) with 22 ( n= 836, Chao 1 = 25.75, H′ = 1.748), corn ( Zea mays ) L. with 22 ( n = 1,647, Chao 1 = 24.5, H′ = 1.365), mango ( Mangifera indica ) L. with 17 ( n = 1,144, Chao 1 = 18.5, H′ = 1.303), blackberry ( Rubus glaucus ) Bentham. with 11 ( n = 545, Chao 1 = 16, H′ = 0.886), banana ( Musa spp.) with 9 species ( n = 1,798, Chao 1 = 9, H′ = 0.208), cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum ) L. with 8 ( n = 5,621, Chao 1 = 11, H′ = 0.913), and rubber tree ( Hevea brasiliensis ) Müll.Arg. with 4 species ( n = 90, Chao 1 = 4, H′ = 0.594). Differences were found in the distribution of the species in the altitudinal gradients and in the biogeographical regions. Frankliniella gardeniae Moulton, was the most abundant species, with the highest presence in crops, the greatest geographic and altitudinal distribution.
