The effects of changes in flowering plant composition caused by nitrogen and phosphorus enrichment on plant–pollinator interactions in a Tibetan alpine grassland [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Soil eutrophication from atmospheric deposition and fertilization threatens biodiversity and the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems worldwide. Increases in soil nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) content can alter the biomass and structure of plant ...

Environmental metagenetics unveil novel plant‐pollinator interactions [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Honey bees are efficient pollinators of flowering plants, aiding in the plant reproductive cycle and acting as vehicles for evolutionary processes. Their role as agents of selection and drivers of gene flow is instrumental to the structure of plant ...

Effects of different types of low‐intensity management on plant‐pollinator interactions in Estonian grasslands [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 In the face of global pollinator decline, extensively managed grasslands play an important role in supporting stable pollinator communities. However, different types of extensive management may promote particular plant species and thus particular ...

Plant‐Pollinator Interactions in Grasslands Established on Arable Land [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionNewly established grasslands and flower strips on arable land aim to counteract ongoing biodiversity loss, often specifically designed to promote pollinators. However, their effectiveness in supporting diverse and stable plant–pollinator networks remains

Effects of Urbanization on Plant–Pollinator Interactions in the Tropics: An Experimental Approach Using Exotic Plants [PDF]
Insects, 2020 Land-use changes through urbanization and biological invasions both threaten plant-pollinator networks. Urban areas host modified bee communities and are characterized by high proportions of exotic plants.

Vertical stratification of plant–pollinator interactions in a temperate grassland [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Visitation of plants by different pollinators depends on individual plant traits, spatial context, and other factors. A neglected aspect of small-scale variation of plant–pollinator interactions is the role of vertical position of flowers. We conducted a

Native flowering plants and their pollinators for use in urban landscape: the Turkmen Mountain case [PDF]
PeerJThis article presents a comprehensive field study examining the interaction between native flowering plant species suitable for urban landscapes and the pollinators that visit them. The research was conducted in June 2021 at 13 different locations in the
