The mutualism between plants and their pollinators provides globally important ecosystem
services, but it is likely to be disrupted by global warming that can cause mismatches …

Plants attract mutualistic animals by offering a reward of nectar. Specifically, floral nectar
(FN) is produced to attract pollinators, whereas extrafloral nectar (EFN) mediates indirect …

The relative importance of specialized and generalized plant‐pollinator relationships is
contentious, yet analyses usually avoid direct measures of pollinator quality (effectiveness) …

The concept of a generalist flower appears to mean different things to different people,
depending upon their background and training. We assess the different meanings of …

Background Some of the most exciting advances in pollination biology have resulted from
interdisciplinary research combining ecological and evolutionary perspectives. For example …

Premise Many animals provide ecosystem services in the form of pollination including
honeybees, which have become globally dominant floral visitors. A rich literature documents …

Dramatic declines in diurnal pollinators have created great scientific interest in plant–
pollinator relationships and associated pollination services. Existing literature, however, is …

Using our accumulated datasets from Kenyan savanna, Mediterranean garigue, UK gardens
and heathland, involving 76 plants from 30 families, we present detailed data to quantify the …

Weather plays an important role in spring-blooming fruit crops due to the combined effects
on bee activity, flower opening, pollen germination, and fertilization. To determine the effects …

We examined site patterns in bee species for diversity and functional diversity in urban,
suburban and rural areas. We sampled bees from all three habitat types and compiled a …
