Are native and non‐native pollinator friendly plants equally valuable for native wild bee communities? [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 AbstractBees rely on floral pollen and nectar for food. Therefore, pollinator friendly plantings are often used to enrich habitats in bee conservation efforts. As part of these plantings, non‐native plants may provide valuable floral resources, but their effects on native bee communities have not been assessed in direct comparison with native ...
