Recent studies have emphasized the role of the western honey bee, Apis mellifera, as a
managed agricultural species worldwide, but also as a potential threat to endangered wild …

Most studies of plant–animal mutualistic networks have come from a temporally static
perspective. This approach has revealed general patterns in network structure, but limits our …

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 …

The honeybee is the primary managed species worldwide for both crop pollination and
honey production. Owing to beekeeping activity, its high relative abundance potentially …

There is widespread concern about the global decline in pollinators and the associated loss
of pollination services. This concern is understandable given the importance of pollinators …

As pollinator decline is increasingly reported in natural and agricultural environments, cities
are perceived as shelters for pollinators because of low pesticide exposure and high floral …

Human‐mediated species introductions provide real‐time experiments in how communities
respond to interspecific competition. For example, managed honey bees Apis mellifera (L.) …

Introduced species can have cascading effects on ecological communities, but indirect
effects of species introductions are rarely the focus of ecological studies. For example …

In recent years, conservation biologists have raised awareness about the risk of ecological
interference between massively introduced managed honeybees and the native wild bee …

Multiple global change pressures, and their interplay, cause plant–pollinator extinctions and
modify species assemblages and interactions. This may alter the risks of pathogen host …
