The influence of pigmentation patterning on bumblebee foraging from flowers of Antirrhinum majus [PDF]

, 2013
Patterns of pigmentation overlying the petal vasculature are common in flowering plants,and have been postulated to play a role in pollinator attraction.

Pollinator conservation—the difference between managing for pollination services and preserving pollinator diversity

Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2015
Our review looks at pollinator conservation and highlights the differences in approach between managing for pollination services and preserving pollinator diversity. We argue that ecosystem service management does not equal biodiversity conservation, and that maintaining species diversity is crucial in providing ecosystem resilience in the face of ...

Intercropping flowering plants in maize systems increases pollinator diversity [PDF]

, 2017
Maize is a poorly competitive crop. Accordingly, soil preparation and high application rates of herbicides are required to reduce early competition with weeds.

Pollinator-pref-data_Briscoe Runquist et al

, 2014
In pollinator arrays of greenhouse grown plants in the field, we watched plants in the arrays (position) and at each observation time noted the number of visits to a flower subspecies and the number of each type of flower subspecies.

Differential effects of jasmonic acid treatment of Brassica nigra on the attraction of pollinators, parasitoids, and butterflies [PDF]

, 2008
Herbivore-induced plant defences influence the behaviour of herbivores as well as that of their natural enemies. Jasmonic acid is one of the key hormones involved in both these direct and indirect induced defences.

Pollen foraging preferences in honey bees and the nutrient profiles of the pollen

Scientific Reports
Honey bees are important insect pollinators that provide critical pollination services to fruit and nut crops in the US. They face challenges likely due to pressures associated with agricultural intensification related habitat loss.

Indirect effects of insecticides on honey bee queens and their eggs via workers exposed to sublethal doses

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Honey bees are the main agricultural crop pollinators and are constantly exposed to diverse agrochemicals including insecticides. Although queen, the sole reproductive individual in a colony, is protected from direct exposure to various stressors, she ...

Butterfly Conservation in China: From Science to Action

Insects, 2020
About 10% of the Earth’s butterfly species inhabit the highly diverse ecosystems of China. Important for the ecological, economic, and cultural services they provide, many butterfly species experience threats from land use shifts and climate change ...

Pollen Release Dynamics and Daily Patterns of Pollen-Collecting Activity of Honeybee Apis mellifera and Bumblebee Bombus lantschouensis in Solar Greenhouse

Insects, 2019
Pollen is important not only for pollination and fertilization of plants, but also for colony development of bee pollinators. Anther dehiscence determines the available pollen that can be collected by foragers.
