Wild bee populations are declining due to human activities, such as land use change, which
strongly affect the composition and diversity of available plants and food sources. The …

Recent declines of bee species have led to great interest in preserving and promoting bee
populations for agricultural and wild plant pollination. Many correlational studies have …

Pollinator nutritional ecology provides insights into plant–pollinator interactions, coevolution,
and the restoration of declining pollinator populations. Bees obtain their protein and lipid …

Recent declines in honey bee populations and increasing demand for insect-pollinated
crops raise concerns about pollinator shortages. Pesticide exposure and pathogens may …

The ability to predict the responses of ecological communities and individual species to
human-induced environmental change remains a key issue for ecologists and conservation …

As bees' main source of protein and lipids, pollen is critical for their development,
reproduction, and health. Plant species vary considerably in the macronutrient content of …

Biodiversity is organised into complex ecological networks of interacting species in local
ecosystems, but our knowledge about the effects of habitat fragmentation on such systems …

Bees pollinate most of the world's wild plant species and provide economically valuable
pollination services to crops; yet knowledge of bee conservation biology lags far behind …

Bees are herbivorous insects, consuming nectar and pollen throughout their life cycles. This
paper is a brief review of the chemistry of these two floral resources and the implications for …

Intensive agricultural systems often expose honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) to large temporal
variations in the availability (quantity, quality and diversity) of nutritional resources. Such …
