How will climatic warming affect insect pollinators?
Predicting the effects of climate warming on insect pollinators is challenging. Insects are
small, mobile, and can be excellent thermoregulators. We describe behavioral and …

Fruit set is moderately dependent on insect pollinators in strawberry and is limited by the availability of pollen under natural open conditions
CM Menzel - The Journal of Horticultural Science and …, 2023 - Taylor & Francis
Modern strawberry (Fragaria× ananass a Duch.) cultivars are hermaphrodite and have fertile
flowers, with the anthers releasing viable pollen. Cultivars are self-compatible and do not …

Pollination in agroecosystems: A review of the conceptual framework with a view to sound monitoring
The pollination ecology in agroecosystems tackles a landscape in which plants and
pollinators need to adjust, or be adjusted, to human intervention. A valid, widely applied …

[HTML][HTML] Temporal and spatial niche complementarity in sunflower pollinator communities and pollination function
One of the most invoked mechanisms mediating the positive effect of pollinator diversity on
plant reproduction is pollinator's niche complementarity (ie partitioning of resource use by …

Methodological shortcomings and lack of taxonomic effort beleaguer Australian bee studies
Bees are a diverse insect group (Michener 2007). Their variation in sociality, nesting and
foraging behaviour, and close association with angiosperms have made bees a topic of …

Importance of maternal resources in pollen limitation studies with pollinator gradients: A case study with sunflower
Pollen limitation studies are scarce in entomophilous crops, as it can be very tedious to
supplement plants with hand pollination at the relevant plant scale. To overcome this, recent …

[HTML][HTML] Proximity to wildflower strips did not boost crop pollination on small, diversified farms harboring diverse wild bees
The yield of many agricultural crops depends on pollination services provided by wild and
managed bees, many of which are experiencing declines due to factors such as reductions …

Sunflower-associated reductions in Varroa mite infestation of honey bee colonies
Landscapes can affect parasite epidemiology in wild and agricultural animals. Honey bees
are threatened by loss of floral resources and by parasites, principally the mite Varroa …
