24 million years of pollination interaction between European linden flowers and bumble bees
Summary Pollination is the most common insect–plant mutualism, binding them in a co‐evolutionary framework. Historic evidence of this interaction can be partly inferred from time‐calibrated molecular phylogenies of plant and insect lineages or directly from fossils.

We used stable isotope analysis to investigate the association between foraging choices and reproductive success in roof‐nesting herring gulls. Surprisingly, δ13C values indicated predominantly terrestrial foraging, while fledging success increased with elevated δ15N, indicating that mothers feeding at higher trophic levels produced higher quality eggs
