Insect seasonality: why?

H Wolda - Annual review of ecology and systematics, 1988 - JSTOR
Among the studies on life history strategies, a subset focuses on the seasonal timing of life
cycle components. When do events like emergence, growth, dispersal, and reproduction …

Plant-pollinator interactions in tropical rain forests

KS Bawa - Annual review of Ecology and Systematics, 1990 - JSTOR
Plant-pollinator interactions in tropical lowland rain forests (TLRF) offer unique opportunities

Variation in sexual reproduction in orchids and its evolutionary consequences: a spasmodic journey to diversification

RL Tremblay, JD Ackerman… - Biological Journal of …, 2005 - academic.oup.com
The great taxonomic diversity of the Orchidaceae is often attributed to adaptive radiation for
specific pollinators driven by selection for outcrossing. However, when one looks beyond the …

The ecology of oil flowers and their bees

SL Buchmann - Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics, 1987 - JSTOR
Nectar and/or pollen are the only floral rewards traditionally investigated. Such myopia has
impeded full understanding of flower-visiting organisms. Flowers in fact offer a great diversity …

Orchid pollination biology

LA Nilsson - Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1992 - Elsevier
Orchids display many unsurpassed floral specializations, as both rewarders and frauds in
their interaction with animal pollinators. Accumulating evidence indicates that their floral …

Body size and flight distance in stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Meliponini): inference of flight range and possible ecological implications

ED Araújo, M Costa, J Chaud-Netto… - Brazilian Journal of …, 2004 - SciELO Brasil
We examined the spatial implications of maximum flight distance for several species of
stingless bees. Data suggested that maximum flight distance in Meliponini is a function of …

Variation in native bee faunas and its implications for detecting community changes

NM Williams, RL Minckley, FA Silveira - Conservation ecology, 2001 - JSTOR
Changes in flower-visiting insect populations or communities that result from human impacts
can be documented by measuring spatial or temporal trends, or by comparing abundance or …

Ups and downs in pollinator populations: when is there a decline?

DW Roubik - Conservation ecology, 2001 - JSTOR
Plant-pollinator systems inherently possess wide variation that limits the applicability of
surveys on population dynamics or diversity. Stable habitats are scarcely studied, whereas …

The structure of a high latitude plant‐flower visitor system: the dominance of flies

H Elberling, JM Olesen - Ecography, 1999 - Wiley Online Library
The species richness of insect flower visitors to all angiosperms at a subarctic‐alpine site in
