Once upon a time on Earth, there was a first flower. Nature provides plenty of cues to help us imagine what the planet looked like 250 million years ago. But we lack concrete evidence in order to ...

Biologists published a study demonstrating that photogrammetry allows rapid and precise three-dimensional reconstruction of flowers from two-dimensional images. To better understand the evolution of ...

Artist Macoto Murayama continues to create beautiful images inspired by the intricate structure of flowers. Using the same computer graphics programs and techniques he learned as an architecture ...

Yet the 3D structure of flowers is rarely studied, the researchers explain. The use of photogrammetry has real advantages compared to other existing methods, in particular X-ray microtomography, which ...

1. Eleven alfalfa selections were studied at the blossom stage of development in an attempt to relate proportion of flowers tripped by insect pollinators to certain characteristics of the blossoms.

Architecture-student-turned-artist Macoto Murayama applies the computer graphics programs and techniques he learned while studying architecture at Miyagi University of Education in Sendai to ...

The corpse flower (Amorphophallus titanum) also known as titan arum, reeks of rotting flesh and death when in bloom. Lucky for us, this stinky plant blooms once every seven to nine years according to ...

Plant–pollinator mutualistic networks represent the ecological context of foraging (for pollinators) and reproduction (for plants and some pollinators). Plant–pollinator visitation networks exhibit ...

To better understand the evolution of flowers, a research team in biology from Université de Montréal, the Montreal Botanical Garden and McGill University have succeeded in using photogrammetry to ...
