What Are the Phylogenetic Limits to Pollinator Diversity?

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 5, Page 697-703, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Although huge progress has been made over the past 200 years in identifying the diversity of pollinators of angiosperms and other plants, new discoveries continue to be made each year, especially in tropical areas and in the fossil record. In this perspective article I address the following questions: Just how diverse are the pollinators and ...

Potential expanded pollinator distributions in North America under future climate

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 2, April–June 2025.
Most pollinator species, including monarch butterflies, may gain potential climate space in the future. Shifting to new locations is an additional challenge of climate change. Management, restoration and citizen participation to provide resources and reduce stressors are ecological solutions.

National‐scale mapping of potential floral resources for honeybees and native pollinators in New Zealand

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 3, April 2025.
Abstract Floral resources are important food resources for pollinators. These resources are produced in different quantities depending on land cover and plant species composition, and the quantity of production varies seasonally. As such, land use change and management of natural resources can have substantial impacts on conservation through resource ...

Biodiversity and ecosystem service contributions of trees: A review for environmental risk assessments of non‐native plant pests in Sweden

open access: yesFood Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.
Abstract Plant pests, particularly non‐native species, can have a profound impact on their host plants. Trees are the foundation of forest ecosystems and serve as important structures in agricultural landscapes and urban areas. In Sweden, forests cover around 70 % of Sweden's land area and serve as an important national resource for the economy and for

Identification of pollen types of beekeeping interest by non‐targeted mass spectrometry

open access: yesJSFA reports, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 62-73, February 2025.
Abstract Background The identification of pollen is important in the field of beekeeping for the determination of the botanical origin of bee products and investigations of bee diet. Until now, it has been performed by melissopalynology, the microscopic examination of pollen grains. However, this technique has some limitations, such as the necessity of

Evaluation of Bee Diversity within Different Sweet Cherry Orchards in the Sultandaği Reservoir (Turkey)

open access: yesJournal of Apicultural Science, 2015
Many varieties of sweet cherry are self-incompatible. Therefore, sweet cherry orchards require a huge population of pollinator bees to carry out an adequate amount of pollen transfer between the different varieties.
