Pollinator size and its consequences: Robust estimates of body size in pollinating insects. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2019 Novel predictive allometric models for two dominant pollinating taxa, bees and hoverflies that consider biogeography, phylogeny, and sexual dimorphism. These models, along with existing allometric equations for pollinating insects, form the R package, "pollimetry." Abstract Body size is an integral functional trait that underlies pollination‐related ...
