Pollination Syndromes in Mediterranean Orchids—Implications for Speciation, Taxonomy and Conservation [PDF]
The Mediterranean flora is spectacularly rich in orchid species that have evolved remarkable adaptations to their environment. Orchids have complex and delicate interactions with their pollinators, which makes them particularly prone to local extinction.

The native bee fauna of the Palouse Prairie (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) [PDF]
While synoptic collections provide data on the range and general composition of the North American bee fauna, bee communities associated with specific habitats are largely uncharacterized.

Flying doctors zur Grauschimmel Bekämpfung und als Bestäuber im ökologischen Erdbeeranbau - erste Untersuchungsergebnisse im BICOPOLL Projekt [PDF]
Organic berry and fruit production suffers heavily from the lack of effective disease and pest management tools, and from inadequate insect pollination at times. As a consequence, the expanding demand on organic berries cannot be filled today.

A tight relationship between the solitary bee Calliopsis (Ceroliopoeum) laeta (Andrenidae, Panurginae) and Prosopis pollen hosts (Fabaceae, Mimosoideae) in xeric South American woodlands [PDF]
The large genus Calliopsis (Andrenidae, Panurginae) is composed of ten subgenera with polylectic and presumably oligolectic species. These categories have been mainly developed from floral visits of female bees collecting pollen.

Impacts of neonicotinoid use on long-term population changes in wild bees in England [PDF]
Wild bee declines have been ascribed in part to neonicotinoid insecticides. While short-term laboratory studies on commercially-bred species (principally honeybees and bumblebees) have identified sub-lethal effects, there is no strong evidence linking ...

Pollination mechanisms and plant-pollinator relationships (2017) [PDF]
Pollination is one of the most fascinating processes in the natural world. Pollination is how flowering plants reproduce. The process involves the transfer of pollen from the male parts to the female parts of the same or another plant.
