Wild Bee Conservation within Urban Gardens and Nurseries: Effects of Local and Landscape Management [PDF]
, 2019 Across urban environments, vegetated habitats provide refuge for biodiversity. Gardens (designed for food crop production) and nurseries (designed for ornamental plant production) are both urban agricultural habitats characterized by high plant species ...

Psychotria caraballoensis (Rubiaceae), a new species from northern Luzon, Philippines
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.In this paper, we describe and illustrate Psychotria caraballoensis, a new endemic species from the Caraballo Mountain Range, Luzon, Philippines. It is allied to the Subalpina species group sensu Sohmer and Davis (2007), and resembles Psychotria sohotonensis.

Impact of Bee Species and Plant Density on Alfalfa Pollination and Potential for Gene Flow
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2010 In outcrossing crops like alfalfa, various bee species can contribute to pollination and gene flow in seed production fields. With the increasing use of transgenic crops, it becomes important to determine the role of these distinct pollinators on alfalfa

Using citizen science to monitor pollination services [PDF]
, 2015 1. Pollination by insects is a vital ecosystem service and the need for its assessment is increasing in recognition and political pressure, but there are currently no large-scale systematic monitoring schemes in place to measure the direct provision of ...

Floral resource diversity drives spatiotemporal variation in plant–pollinator network structure
Oikos, EarlyView.Mechanisms underlying community assembly, including those related to species interactions, vary across space and time. Plant–pollinator networks exemplify these dynamics, where link rewiring and turnover mediate adaptations to environmental changes. Bees rely on diverse floral resources (e.g.

Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2019 Bee-pollinated crops in landscapes with a low abundance of bees suffer from insufficient pollination. The present study investigates the effect of wild bee pollination on fruit and seed production in okra, Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench.

Oikos, EarlyView.Climatic conditions alter the phenology of species, which may threaten the synchrony of biotic interactions. However, how phenological synchrony across entire communities of plants and their pollinators responds to varying environmental conditions remains poorly understood.

Pollination Systems of Palms (Arecaceae)
Journal of Pollination EcologyA review is given of pollination systems in the palm family (Arecaceae). Pollination studies of 149 species (6% of the total number) in 60 genera (33% of the total number) are reviewed. The majority of these studies (75%) are of Neotropical palms.

The Dynamics of Pollination Markets [PDF]
The economic problem of a commercial beekeeper is akin to that of a traveling salesman with the important difference that bees simultaneously pollinate crops and feed on them.

Oikos, EarlyView.The ability of plants to attract pollinators is context‐dependent, influenced by floral traits, abundance, and resources from the plant community. Indirect interactions through shared pollinators, from competition to facilitation, may lead to varied reproductive outputs in plants, and the mechanisms behind these interactions remain to be fully ...
