Changes in pollinator fauna cause spatial variation in pollen limitation

open access: yes, 2010
1. Pollen limitation may be a consequence of changes in pollinator abundance, diversity and identity. However, no empirical evidence exists concerning the consequences that the spatial variation in pollinator fauna has on pollen limitation intensity and ...

Optimization and Cost Evaluation of an Autonomous Hybrid Renewable Energy System for Electrifying Rural Areas in Nigeria

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This research explores the techno‐economic and environmental performance of fully renewable hybrid energy systems for rural electrification in Auchi, Nigeria. HOMER Pro is utilized to model and optimize PV/WT/Battery, PV/Battery, and WT/Battery configurations under identical conditions.

Optimization of QuEChERS Method for Simultaneous Determination of Neonicotinoid Residues in Pollinator Forage

open access: yes, 2020
Consistent with the large-scale use of pesticide seed treatments in U.S. field crop production, there has been an increased use of neonicotinoid-treated corn and soybean seed over the past decade.

Global pollinator declines: trends, impacts and drivers

open access: yes, 2010
Pollinators are a key component of global biodiversity, providing vital ecosystem services to crops and wild plants. There is clear evidence of recent declines in both wild and domesticated pollinators, and parallel declines in the plants that rely ...

Pollinator declines and the stability of plant-pollinator networks

open access: yes, 2020
Population declines of pollinators constitute a major concern for the fate of biodiversity and associated ecosystem services in a context of global change.

Defining the pollinator garden: is conceptual flexibility a feature or a bug?

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Ecologists often aim to reduce conceptual ambiguity by attempting to create rigid shared lexicons. These efforts imply that ambiguity is undesirable. In some contexts, however, conceptual flexibility comes with under‐discussed benefits. Here, we use the lens of pollinator gardening to explore how conceptual flexibility is built into participatory ...

Pollinator, pollen, and cultivar identity drive crop quality

open access: yes
Animal pollination enhances a third of global food production, yet the roles of pollinator, pollen, and cultivar identity in shaping crop quality, such as nutritional, sensory, and marketing value, are underexplored.

Deconstructing pollinator community effectiveness

open access: yes, 2020
Effective pollination is a complex, context-dependent phenomenon determined by both species-level and community-level factors. While pollinator communities are constituted by interacting organisms in a shared environment, these factors are often ...
