Biological invasions threaten global biodiversity, altering landscapes, ecosystems, and
mutualistic relationships like pollination. Orchids are one of the most threatened plant …

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 …

Insect-mediated pollination is crucial for global production of multiple pollinator-dependent
crops, including high-value crops like sweet and sour cherry. In the face of increasing …

Natural pest control has the potential to reduce pesticide use. Therefore, it has an essential
role to play in the transition towards a more sustainable agriculture. For the prediction of …

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 …

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 …

Differences in pollination effectiveness (PE) among pollinators have been widely
documented. However, the morphological and behavioural traits underlying these …

Priority effects occur when the order of species arrival affects subsequent ecological
processes. The order that pollinator species visit flowers may affect pollination through a …

Despite the importance of insect pollination to produce marketable fruits, insect pollination
management is limited by insufficient knowledge about key crop pollinator species. This lack …
