Pollinator individual‐based networks reveal the specialized plant–pollinator mutualism in two biodiverse communities

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Generalization of pollination systems is widely accepted by ecologists in the studies of plant–pollinator interaction networks at the community level, but the degree of generalization of pollination networks remains largely unknown at the individual ...

Reproductive success through high pollinator visitation rates despite self incompatibility in an endangered wallflower [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Self incompatibility (SI) in rare plants presents a unique challenge—SI protects plants from inbreeding depression, but requires a sufficient number of mates and xenogamous pollination. Does SI persist in an endangered polyploid? Is

Combined stress from parasites, pesticides and lack of flowers drives bee declines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Bees are subject to numerous pressures in the modern world. The abundance and diversity of flowers has declined, bees are chronically exposed to cocktails of agrochemicals, and they are simultaneously exposed to novel parasites accidentally spread by ...

Plant species richness and sunlight exposure increase pollinator attraction to pollinator gardens

open access: yesEcosphere, 2022
Evidence documenting the decline of insect populations is accumulating. Efforts have increased to mitigate pollinator losses by establishing gardens to support pollinator diversity.

Testing the accuracy of a Rights-of-Way pollinator habitat scoring system

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2023
Habitat loss is a major cause of pollinator declines, and there is increased interest by the public in creating pollinator-friendly lands. Electric and transportation rights-of-way (ROW) present an opportunity for large amounts of land to be managed to ...

Spatial Relation of Bumblebees (Hymenoptera-Apidae) with Host-Plant and their Conservation Issues: An Outlook from Urban Ecosystem of Kathmandu Valley, Nepal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Ecology and conservation status of bumblebee species remains poorly understood, especially in rapidly degrading urban ecosystems, which is important considering the role of bumblebees in the pollinations. We collected more than 200 bumblebee (Bombus

Gut microbiota is a potential factor in shaping phenotypic variation in larvae and adults of female bumble bees

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Host symbionts are often considered an essential part of the host phenotype, influencing host growth and development. Bumble bee is an ideal model for investigating the relationship between microbiota and phenotypes.

Conserving diversity in Irish plant–pollinator networks

open access: yesEcology 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 ...

Long-Term Sustainability Implications of Diverse Commercial Pollinator Mixtures for the Conservation Reserve Program

open access: yesAgronomy, 2022
The persistence of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) seed mixtures following planting is crucial for the long-term support of pollinator habitat; however, the role of disturbance regimes and their interactions in supporting this ecosystem service are ...
