PLoS ONE, 2023 Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are widely used for honey production and crop pollination, raising concern for wild pollinators, as honey bees may compete with wild pollinators for floral resources.

Niche complementarity among pollinators increases community-level plant reproductive success
Peer Community Journal, 2021 Our understanding of how the structure of species interactions shapes natural communities has increased, particularly regarding plant-pollinator interactions.

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2021 Grassland ecosystems present patterns of plant-pollinator interactions that may be linked to habitat heterogeneity, plant composition and disturbances. Most studies about plant-pollinator interactions in the Neotropics were conducted in forest, savanna ...

Can plant hybridization and polyploidy lead to pollinator shift? [PDF]
Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2020 Events of both hybridization and polyploidy are capable of completely restructuring the genome, modifying phenotypic traits and affecting ecological interactions. For plants, these changes may affect floral traits that are important for interactions with

PLoS ONE, 2020 Pollination may be severely affected by the decreasing size and increasing isolation of habitat patches. However, most studies that have considered the effects of these two variables on plant-pollinator interactions have been carried out in areas that ...

Conspecific and heterospecific plant densities at small-scale can drive plant-pollinator interactions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Generalist pollinators are important in many habitats, but little research has been done on small-scale spatial variation in interactions between them and the plants that they visit. Here, using a spatially explicit approach, we examined whether multiple

Conserving diversity in Irish plant–pollinator networks
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Beneficial insects provide valuable services upon which we rely, including pollination. Pollinator conservation is a global priority, and a significant concern in Ireland, where over half of extant bee species have declined significantly in recent ...

Testing how antagonistic interactions impact the robustness of plant-pollinator networks
Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2019 Given ongoing pollinator declines, it is important to understand the dynamics of linked extinctions of plants driven by pollinator extinctions. Topological robustness models focused on this question suggest relatively high robustness of plant species to ...

Pollinator parasites and the evolution of floral traits
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 The main selective force driving floral evolution and diversity is plant–pollinator interactions. Pollinators use floral signals and indirect cues to assess flower reward, and the ensuing flower choice has major implications for plant fitness. While many
