As global surface temperatures rise, global precipitation rates are predicted to increase.
These localised increases in rainfall patterns may significantly affect plant–pollinator …

Existing assessments of the ecosystem service of pollination have been largely restricted to
diurnal insects, with a particular focus on generalist foragers such as wild and honey bees …

Ecosystem services to agriculture, such as pollination, rely on natural areas adjacent to
farmland to support organisms that provide services. Native insect pollinators depend on …

Flowers recruit floral visitors for pollination services by emitting fragrances. These scent
signals can be intercepted by antagonists such as florivores to locate host plants. Hence, as …

Land-use change and intensification threaten bee populations worldwide, imperilling
pollination services. Global models are needed to better characterise, project, and mitigate …

Methods for sampling ecological assemblages strive to be efficient, repeatable, and
representative. Unknowingly, common methods may be limited in terms of revealing species …

Background In the past decade, accumulating evidence of pollinator decline has raised
concerns regarding the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems and the sustainability of crop …

Bumblebees are valuable pollinators of numerous wild and cultivated plants. They can
forage on variable pollen resources. As some pollen species lack particular nutrients or …

Understanding which flowers honey bees (Apis mellifera) use for forage can help us to
provide suitable plants for healthy honey bee colonies. Accordingly, honey DNA …

Understanding the causes and consequences of pollinator declines is a priority in ecological
research. However, across much of the globe we have a poor understanding of pollinator …
