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 origins of flowering plants and pollinators
Science, 2020 New research raises questions about when flowering plants and their pollinators evolved For more than a century there has been a fascination with the surprisingly rapid rise and early diversity of flowering plants (angiosperms).

Deciphering the ecology of the threatened microendemic species Euphorbia margalidiana
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Small islands play a critical role in the study of plant ecology and evolution. Here, we reveal the ecology of Euphorbia margalidiana, an endemic plant that thrives in a micro-island environment in the Western Mediterranean region.

The restoration of ecological interactions: plant-pollinator networks on ancient and restored heathlands [PDF]
, 2008 1. Attempts to restore damaged ecosystems usually emphasize structural aspects of biodiversity, such as species richness and abundance. An alternative is to emphasize functional aspects, such as patterns of interaction between species.

Assessing the role of dispersed floralresources for managed bees in providingsupporting ecosystem services for croppollination [PDF]
, 2018 Most pollination ecosystem services studies have focussed on wild pollinators and their dependence on natural floral resources adjacent to crop fields. However, managed pollinators depend on a mixture of floral resources that are spatially separated from

Using citizen science to monitor pollination services [PDF]
, 2015 1. Pollination by insects is a vital ecosystem service and the need for its assessment is increasing in recognition and political pressure, but there are currently no large-scale systematic monitoring schemes in place to measure the direct provision of ...
