Journal ArticleDOI
Linking bees and flowers: how do floral communities structure pollinator communities?
TL;DR: It is concluded that floral resources act in specific and previously unexplored ways to modulate the diversity of the local geographic species pool, with specific disturbance factors, superimposed upon these patterns, mainly affecting the dominant species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of nesting resources in organising diverse bee communities in a Mediterranean landscape
Simon G. Potts,Betsy Vulliamy,Stuart P. M. Roberts,Chris O'Toole,Amots Dafni,Gidi Ne'eman,Pat Willmer +6 more
TL;DR: The habitat components determining the structure of bee communities are well known when considering foraging resources; however, there is little data with respect to the role of nesting resources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Response of plant-pollinator communities to fire: changes in diversity, abundance and floral reward structure
Simon G. Potts,Betsy Vulliamy,Amots Dafni,Gidi Ne'eman,Chris O'Toole,Stuart P. M. Roberts,Pat Willmer +6 more
TL;DR: A novel and highly integrated approach is presented, which quantifies, in parallel, the response to fire of pollinator communities, floral communities and floral reward structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of cattle grazing on plant-pollinator communities in a fragmented Mediterranean landscape
TL;DR: Overall, bee communities benefit from a relatively high level of grazing in phrygana, where cattle inhibited the growth of some of the dominant shrubs, creating or maintaining more open patches where light-demanding herbs could grow, thus allowing a diverse flora to develop.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nectar resource diversity organises flower-visitor community structure
Simon G. Potts,Betsy Vulliamy,Stuart P. M. Roberts,Chris O'Toole,Amots Dafni,Gidi Ne'eman,Pat Willmer +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that relying solely upon measurements ofmean nectar volume and mean nectar concentration overlooks a key characteristic of community‐level reward structure, nectar resource diversity, so that previous studies may have failed to identify an important determinant of flower‐visitor community structure.
