Predictive modelling tools can be used to support the design of agricultural landscapes to
promote pollinator biodiversity and pollination services. Despite the proliferation of such …

Accurate prediction of pollination processes is a key challenge for sustainable food
production and the conservation of natural ecosystems. For many plants, pollen dispersal is …

Pollinator populations and diversity are experiencing a dramatic global decline. As a result,
the pollination of many crops around the world is threatened. Several empirical studies have …

Populations of wild insect pollinators such as bumble bees are threatened worldwide, which
compromises pollinator-dependent crop yields. Intentionally planting wildflower patches in …

Bombus terrestris, an important eusocial insect, plays a vital role in providing pollination
services for both wild plants and greenhouse crops. For the development of the colonies, the …

The balance between nutrition and energy needs has an important impact on the spatial
distribution of foraging animals. In the present paper, we focus on the case of bumble bees …

Bumble bees are important pollinators of many crops around the world. In recent decades,
agricultural intensification has resulted in significant declines in bumble bee populations …

Bees play a crucial role as pollinators in ecosystems, yet they face the risk of flower-
mediated diseases that can spread among their communities. Infected bees can …
