Agricultural policies exacerbate honeybee pollination service supply-demand mismatches across europe.
(2014)Declines in insect pollinators across Europe have raised concerns about the supply of pollination services to agriculture. Simultaneously, EU agricultural and biofuel policies have encouraged substantial growth in the ... -
Does size matter? Bumblebee behaviour and the pollination of Cytisus scoparius L. (Fabaceae).
(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 ... -

Pollination ecology in the 21st century: Key Questions for future research
(2011)To inspire new ideas in research on pollination ecology, we list the most important unanswered questions in the field. This list was drawn up by contacting 170 scientists from different areas of pollination ecology and ... -
Pollination of invasive Rhododendron ponticum (Ericaceae) in Ireland
(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. ... -
Reproductive biology of the invasive exotic shrub, Rhododendron ponticum L. (Ericaceae)
(Blackwell, 2007)The reproductive biology of an exotic species will affect its ability to become naturalized and invasive in non-native habitats. Rhododendron ponticum is an ecologically damaging exotic weed in the British Isles, which ...
