Isn’t pollen just… pollen? Why can’t native birds/bees/butterflies benefit from the pollen of invasive flowers?
In: Biology
They can.
But their benefiting from the invasive can help destroy the basics bc if they’re only hanging out with the invasives, or even just hanging out with the invasives more, then they are not hanging out with the natives, and they are not getting pollinated, so the natives will not reproduce at the same rate they would have if the invases weren’t there.
