Although the importance of natural habitats to pollinator diversity is widely recognized, the
value of forests to pollinating insects has been largely overlooked in many parts of the world …

Temperate forests cover 16% of the global forest area. Within these forests, the understorey
is an important biodiversity reservoir that can influence ecosystem processes and functions …

Many bee species are declining globally, but to detect trends and monitor bee assemblages,
robust sampling methods are required. Numerous sampling methods are used, but a critical …

Temperate hardwood deciduous forest is the dominant landcover in the Northeastern US,
yet its canopy is usually ignored as pollinator habitat due to the abundance of wind …

Studies on the vertical distribution patterns of arthropods in temperate deciduous forests
reveal highly stratified (ie, unevenly vertically distributed) communities. These patterns are …

Pollinator communities are more abundant and diverse in agricultural matrices with more
natural habitat, although the reasons for these correlations remain unclear. It is possible that …

Unmanaged forest is considered as native habitat of the Western honeybee Apis mellifera
and is assumed to provide important pollen and nectar sources. However, resource supply …

Climatic gradients such as latitude and elevation are considered primary drivers of global
biogeography. Yet, alongside these macro‐gradients, the vertical space and structure …

Bee species diversity and the effectiveness of four sampling methods were investigated in a
west-central Illinois restored tallgrass prairie. Bees were sampled using malaise traps …

Anthropogenic disturbance of habitat is considered a contributing factor of pollinator
declines, but some disturbances such as silviculture, may have positive implications for …
