Most flowering plants require animal pollination and are visited by multiple pollinator
species. Historically, the effects of pollinators on plant fitness have been compared using the …

For the vast majority of higher plants, animal-mediated pollination is essential for
reproduction by seed. This paper discusses threats to plant-pollinator interaction including …

Detrimental effects of introduced honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) on native plant pollination
have been predicted based on their observed deterrence or expulsion of native pollinators …

Premise Honeybees dominate the flower‐visitor assemblages of many plant species, yet
their efficiency in terms of the quality of pollen delivered to stigmas is largely unknown. We …

The western honey bee (Apis mellifera) is the most frequent floral visitor of crops worldwide,
but quantitative knowledge of its role as a pollinator outside of managed habitats is largely …

Aims Worldwide, evidence suggests that exotic pollinators can disrupt plant mating patterns.
However, few studies have determined if pollination by the honeybee Apis mellifera (the …

While addition of managed honeybees (Apis mellifera) improves pollination of many
entomophilous crops, it is unknown if it simultaneously suppresses the densities of wild …

Contrary to most other bee species honeybees are highly eusocial and hold extremely long-
lived societies. Their all-season activities force them to use whatever plants available and …

European honeybees were introduced to Australia in the 1820s and are now widespread as
feral and domestic colonies in the temperate region, foraging for nectar and pollen from …

Most plant–pollinator mutualisms are generalized. As such, they are susceptible to
perturbation by abundant, generalist, non-native pollinators such as the western honey bee …
