Interactions between birds, fruit bats and exotic plants in urban Hong Kong, South China (2005, background): “By contrast, in suburban Sydney, native plants produced more nectar than exotics and were preferred by native nectarivores (French et al., 2005).”
A SYSTEMATIC SURVEY OF FLORAL NECTARIES (2007, background): “According to Cronquist (1981), the base of the filaments and the ovary base are nectariferous in Theaceae; there are no reports on the anatomy, but many on the nectar, including the toxicity for bees of the nectar of a Camellia species (Adler, 2000; Rho & Choe, 2003; French et al., 2005).”
The influence of native versus exotic streetscape vegetation on the spatial distribution of birds in suburbs and reserves (2013, background): “Urban adapters are tolerant of moderate levels of urbanization, for example, suburbs, and in Australia include many native species that take advantage of flowering garden plants and mown grassy lawns (Green, 1984; French et al., 2005), as well as species that are ubiquitous worldwide.”
Urbanization Drives a Reduction in Functional Diversity in a Guild of Nectar-feeding Birds (2012, background): “Especially important are the large, bird-pollinated Proteaceae and Ericaceae shrubs that depend entirely on seeds for regeneration after all the adult plants are fire-killed.”
Avifaunal disarray due to a single despotic species (2013, background): “, 2001a), where they are more likely to co-occur with the large-bodied nectarivores that tend to resist or ignore miner attack (French et al., 2005; Maron, 2009).”
Diversity and abundance of solitary and primitively eusocial bees in an urban centre: a case study from Northampton (England) (2015, background): “Moreover, floral diversity (Gaston et al. 2005; Wojcik 2011) and green areas (Hennig and Ghazoul 2012) within urban landscapes have proven to have a positive impact on bee diversity.”
Environmental factors affecting bee diversity in urban and remote grassland plots in Boulder, Colorado (2009, background): “Urbanization also changes vegetation patterns such that previously unfragmented landscapes become a mosaic of pavement, buildings, parks, gardens, and small remnants of native habitat ( French et al. 2005; Johnson and Klemens 2005b).”
