Many bee species are declining globally, but to detect trends and monitor bee assemblages,
robust sampling methods are required. Numerous sampling methods are used, but a critical …

The evolution of floral traits in animal-pollinated plants involves the interaction between
flowers as signal senders and pollinators as signal receivers. Flower colors are very diverse …

Urbanisation has become one of the major anthropogenic drivers behind insect decline in
abundance, biomass and species richness over the past decades. As a result, bees and …

Simple Summary Pollination is important for fertilization, setting fruits, seed development
and the continuation of the life cycle of plants that eventually provide food for humans …

The diversity of flower colours in nature provides quantifiable evidence for how visitations by
colour sensing insect pollinators can drive the evolution of angiosperm visual signalling …

Insect biodiversity reveals much about ecosystem health and function; however, field studies
of insect community composition and diversity are often unintentionally biased by the …

Monitoring pollinator health and pollination is among the top priorities to safeguard
pollinators and secure pollinator services. Assessments of sampling methods are therefore …

Flowers come in a variety of colours, shapes, sizes and odours. Flowers also differ in the
quality and quantity of nutritional reward they provide to entice potential pollinators to visit …

Over one third of crops are animal pollinated, with insects being the largest group. In some
crops, including strawberries, fruit yield, weight, quality, aesthetics and shelf life increase …

Many non‐bee insects are important for pollination, yet few studies have assessed the
effectiveness of sampling these taxa using low‐cost techniques, such as coloured vane …
