The Native Bees of Lolland (Denmark) Revisited after 100 Years: The Demise of the Specialists
Insects, 2022 There is a global concern over insect declines, including both species loss and population declines. In particular, declines of species, such as bees that anchor trophic interactions and shoulder many of the essential ecosystem services, have been the ...

Pollinator behaviour and resource limitation maintain honest floral signalling [PDF]
Functional Ecology, 2021 Abstract In many communication systems, signal receivers profit from honest signals that indicate the signaller's quality, whereas low‐quality signallers should profit from cheating. Under such a conflict of interests between signallers and signal receivers, the maintenance of honest signals presents a puzzle.

Floral UV Features of Plant Species From a Neotropical Savanna
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Despite the wide interest in flower colours, only after the end of the nineteenth-century studies started to comprise floral UV reflection, which is invisible to humans but visible to the major groups of pollinators.

Honeybee Floral Resources in Southwestern Nigeria
Journal of Biology and Life Science, 2012 Every beekeeper is expected to be familiar with the bee floral resources near/ or around his/her apiary for successful beekeeping operation. Understanding the major nectar and pollen producing plants and their flowering period is of great advantage to maximise the efficiency of the bees.

Ants as flower visitors : floral ant-repellence and the impact of ant scent-marks on pollinator behaviour [PDF]
, 2012 As flower visitors, ants rarely benefit a plant, commonly disrupting pollination by deterring other flower visitors, or stealing nectar. This thesis examines three aspects of ant-flower interactions, focusing on the occurrence of floral traits that ...
