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
Plant-pollinator biodiversity and pollination services in a complex mediterranean landscape
Simon G. Potts,Theodora Petanidou,Stuart P. M. Roberts,Chris O'Toole,Allison Hulbert,Pat Willmer +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the three habitats of greatest overall value for plant-pollinator communities and provision of the healthiest pollination services are pine forests, oak woodland and managed olive groves.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mason bees as managed pollinators of orchard crops.
TL;DR: As honeybees continue to be under pressure it could well be prudent to find additional bee species with potential as pollinators.
