Pollination
Mark Deyrup at Archbold Biological Station observed these Hymenoptera species on Polypremum procumbens
Halictidae: Lasioglossum nymphalis
Megachilidae: Megachile brevis pseudobrevis
Sphecidae: Cerceris blakei
Sphecidae: Microbembex monodonta
Vespidae: Stenodynerus fundatiformis
Use by animals
Deyrup observed this bee, Dialictus nymphalis, on P. procumbens (Deyrup et al 2002). Cover of P. procumbens decreased significantly through time after three grazing treatments (no grazing by deer or cattle, grazing by deer, or grazing by deer and cattle) in thinned and clearcut forested areas (Brockway and Lewis 2003).
