Massively introduced managed species and their consequences for plant–pollinator interactions
Since the rise of agriculture, human populations have domesticated plant and animal
species to fulfil their needs. With modern agriculture, a limited number of these species has …

Honeybee spillover reshuffles pollinator diets and affects plant reproductive success
During the past decades, managed honeybee stocks have increased globally. Managed
honeybees are particularly used within mass-flowering crops and often spill over to adjacent …

Covariation among reproductive traits in flowering plants shapes their interactions with pollinators
Globally, plants display enormous variation in life‐history strategies and trait combinations.
However, evidence suggests that evolutionary and physiological constraints limit the …

How much flower‐rich habitat is enough for wild pollinators? Answering a key policy question with incomplete knowledge
In 2013, an opportunity arose in E ngland to develop an agri‐environment package for wild
pollinators, as part of the new C ountryside S tewardship scheme launched in 2015. It can …

Temporal variation in plant–pollinator networks from seasonal tropical environments: higher specialization when resources are scarce
The temporal dynamics of plant phenology and pollinator abundance across seasons
should influence the structure of plant–pollinator interaction networks. Nevertheless, such …
