Air pollution and its multifaceted effects on insect pollinators: A review
Air pollution disrupts plant‐pollinator interactions by impairing floral signal transmission, altering foraging behaviour, and reducing pollinator fitness, flight efficiency, reproduction and survival, posing serious threats to ecological stability.

Pollination ecology of New Zealand orchids : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Ecology at Massey University [PDF]
The New Zealand orchid flora comprises twenty-five genera and at least 100 species occurring throughout the country. Although the number of endemic species is high (69%) only four genera are endemic to New Zealand.

The relationship between morphological and behavioral mimicry in hover flies (Diptera: Syrphidae). [PDF]
Palatable (Batesian) mimics of unprofitable models could use behavioral mimicry to compensate for the ease with which they can be visually discriminated or to augment an already close morphological resemblance.

Pollinator communities as indicators of ecological change in developing woodlands
A shift in the pollinator community occurs as planted woodlands develop. Bees respond to local habitat change, while hoverflies respond to the broader landscape. The choice of metrics and sampling methods can shape ecological interpretations. Pollinators, especially bees, are sensitive, policy‐relevant indicators for tracking early biodiversity change ...

The influence of floral traits on specialisation and modularity of plant-pollinator networks in a biodiversity hotspot in the Peruvian Andes [PDF]
Background and Aims: Modularity is a ubiquitous and important structural property of ecological networks which describes the relative strengths of sets of interacting species and gives insights into the dynamics of ecological communities.
