Biodiversity, species interactions and ecological networks in a fragmented world (2012, background): “There is considerable spatial variation, for example, bird pollination is rare on mainland in Europe whereas it is common on European islands (Dupont et al., 2004; Kraemer and Schmitt, 1999; Olesen, 1985; Olesen and Valido, 2003; Ollerton et al., 2003).”
Ecosystem Services Provided by Birds (2008, background): “Consequences of this recent phenomenon are not well understood (Hansen et al. 2002; Celebrezze & Paton 2004; Dupont et al. 2004a,b).”
Sugar Preferences in Nectar‐ and Fruit‐Eating Birds: Behavioral Patterns and Physiological Causes 1 (2005, background): “The presence of sucrose-rich nectars in bird-pollinated plants could be the result of selective pressures exerted by insects before the plants were pollinated by birds, as suggested by Dupont et al. (2004).”
Weed-insect pollinator networks as bio-indicators of ecological sustainability in agriculture. A review (2016, background): “It has been hypothesized that some specialist nectarivores can assimilate sucrose, whereas opportunistic nectar feeders digest only simple hexoses (Dupont et al. 2004).”
Conservation and restoration of plant–animal mutualisms on oceanic islands (2010, background): “Most known super-generalist island pollinators are bees (e.g. Xylocopa darwinii on Galápagos, McMullen, 1993; Bombus canariensis on the Canary Islands, Olesen, 1985; Halictus sp.on the Azores, Olesen et al., 2002; and Lasioglossum mahense on the Mahé, Seychelles, CNKB, unpublished data), but also ”
