    • Does size matter? Bumblebee behaviour and the pollination of Cytisus scoparius L. (Fabaceae). 

      STOUT, JANE CATHERINE (EDP Sciences, 2000)
      The effects of forager body size and floral display size on pollinator behaviour were assessed in a relatively specialised plant-pollinator system. Cytisus scoparius, which has structurally complex, nectarless flowers is ...

    • Macroecology and extinction risk correlates of frogs 

      COOPER, NATALIE; BIELBY, JON; THOMAS, GAVIN H; PURVIS, ANDY (Blackwell Publishing, 2008)
      Aim Our aim was to test whether extinction risk in frogs could be predicted from their body size, fecundity or geographic range size. Because small geographic range size is a correlate of extinction risk in many taxa, we ...

    • Pollination of invasive Rhododendron ponticum (Ericaceae) in Ireland 

      STOUT, JANE CATHERINE (EDP Sciences, 2007)
      Several insect species visited exotic Rhododendron ponticum flowers, but bumblebees were most common. Only bumblebees (and one Vespula) contacted the flower stigma whilst foraging and are probably the main pollinators. ...
