Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Pollen serves as an essential protein source for honey bee larvae. The nutrients in pollen greatly influence larval growth and development. Here, the survival, prepupal weight, developmental stage, pollen digestibility and midgut cells in honey bee (Apis

Ecology 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 ...

Plant species richness and sunlight exposure increase pollinator attraction to pollinator gardens
Ecosphere, 2022 Evidence documenting the decline of insect populations is accumulating. Efforts have increased to mitigate pollinator losses by establishing gardens to support pollinator diversity.

Honeybees disrupt the structure and functionality of plant-pollinator networks
Scientific Reports, 2019 The honeybee is the primary managed species worldwide for both crop pollination and honey production. Owing to beekeeping activity, its high relative abundance potentially affects the structure and functioning of pollination networks in natural ...

Specialization of plant–pollinator interactions increases with temperature at Mt. Kilimanjaro
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Aim Species differ in their degree of specialization when interacting with other species, with significant consequences for the function and robustness of ecosystems.

Bumble bee queen pheromones are context-dependent
Scientific Reports, 2021 Queen pheromones have long been studied as a major factor regulating reproductive division of labor in social insects. Hitherto, only a handful of queen pheromones were identified and their effects on workers have mostly been studied in isolation from ...

Delivery of crop pollination services is an insufficient argument for wild pollinator conservation
Nature Communications, 2015 There is compelling evidence that more diverse ecosystems deliver greater benefits to people, and these ecosystem services have become a key argument for biodiversity conservation.

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

The effects of rainfall on plant–pollinator interactions
Arthropod-Plant Interactions, 2019 As global surface temperatures rise, global precipitation rates are predicted to increase. These localised increases in rainfall patterns may significantly affect plant–pollinator interactions in multiple ways.
