Most flowering plants rely on pollinators for their reproduction. Plant‐pollinator interactions,
although mutualistic, involve an inherent conflict of interest between both partners and may …

Bumblebees are familiar and charismatic insects, occurring throughout much of the world.
They are increasingly being used as a model organism for studying a wide range of …

In recent years, conservation biologists have raised awareness about the risk of ecological
interference between massively introduced managed honeybees and the native wild bee …

Solitary bees are central place foragers returning to their nests several times a day with
pollen and nectar to provision their brood cells. They are especially susceptible to …

1. Pollinators visiting large floral displays may probe several flowers in sequence, leading to
geitonogamous (among-flower) self-pollination. To investigate the relationship between …

1. Pollinator visitation patterns in relation to variation in floral display size may be modified
both quantitatively and qualitatively by local plant density. In this study four measures of …

Studies of the relationship between the composition of nectar and its consumers often focus
on single or very few species, thus ignoring dynamics in diverse assemblages. Conversely …

In the present review we attempt to synthesize evidence for a causative relationship
between the presence of non‐native bee pollinators and the successful establishment and …

Accumulating evidence shows that landscape fragmentation drives the observed worldwide
decline in populations of pollinators, particularly in species of Lepidoptera and …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: The ability to attract pollinators is crucial to plants that rely on
insects for pollination. We contrasted the roles of floral display size and flower color in …
