Abstract

Changes in temperature, disturbances on rainfall pattern, time of growth, flowering and maturation of plants, or any other environmental variation over the entire season can have serious impact on plants associated biodiversity, which in turn may alter the abundance, diversity and foraging behavior of pollinators. For any successful pollination interactions, there is a need of occurrence of synchronous biological events such as insect emergence, their foraging behavior and date of onset of flowering. In this paper, efforts have been made to review the effects of climate change on the phenology of plants and activities of insect pollinators by compiling the available information from research papers, articles, reports and literature in chronological order.
