What Are the Phylogenetic Limits to Pollinator Diversity?
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
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.

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 ...

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
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
