Factors affecting bee communities in forest openings and adjacent mature forest (2017, background): “…factor to these declines (Aizen and Feinsinger, 2003; Goulson et al., 2008; Potts et al., 2010); however, not all disturbances are detrimental for bees since many species are associated with open, early-successional habitats that are created by disturbance (Grundel et al., 2010; Michener, 2007).”
Identifying the sister group to the bees: a molecular phylogeny of Aculeata with an emphasis on the superfamily Apoidea (2012, background): “Monophyly of Apoidea is supported by a number of morphological characters, including (i) the rounded pronotal lobe well separated from the tegula, (ii) ventral extension of the pronotum to encircle or nearly encircle the thorax behind the front coxa and (iii) enlargement of the metapostnotum (propod”
Leafcutter and mason bees of the genus Megachile Latreille (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) in Canada and Alaska (2011, background): “Unlike other members of the subgenus Megachile in North America, females of M. montivaga collect flower petals instead of leaves for nest cell construction.”
Effects of Cultivation and Proximity to Natural Habitat on Ground-nesting Native Bees in California Sunflower Fields (2006, background): “…species visiting sunflowers in large numbers were also found nesting in the field or along field borders. i Torchio and Trostle, 1986. ii Michener, 2000. iii Thorp, pers. comm. iv Heinrich, 1979. v Hurd et al., 1974. vi Rozen, 1964. vii Packer, 1991. viii Eickwort, 1985. ix Barthell et…”
Relationships between wild bees, hoverflies and pollination success in apple orchards with different landscape contexts (2016, background): “It sometimes robs nectar from the apple flower without pollinating it, and makes fewer contacts with the stigma of the apple flower compared with certain solitary bees (Delaplane & Mayer, 2000).”
The role of resources and risks in regulating wild bee populations. (2011, background): “The majority of species excavate simple tunnel systems in soil, but others require particular structures or resources that are potentially in limited supply, including mud, leaves, resin, pith, dead wood, narrow cavities, and large protected chambers (69, 96).”
A land for flowers and bees: studying pollination ecology in Mediterranean communities (2005, background): “The proportion of the world’s terrestrial insects in this area is still unknown (Quézel, 1985; Blondel & Aronson, 1999), but it is considered a centre of bee speciation (Michener, 1979, 2000; O’Toole & Raw, 1991; Proctor et al., 1996; Potts et al., 2001).”
Ecological and life-history traits predict bee species responses to environmental disturbances (2010, methodology): “, 1979) or from Bees of the World (Michener, 2000).”
Sperm limitation and the evolution of extreme polyandry in honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) (2004, unknown): “The phylogenetic ancestors of the honeybee were supposedly similar to bumblebees (Bombus, the sister genus of Apis), with much smaller colonies consisting of only a few hundred individuals and singly mated queens (Michener 2000).”
Global invasions of the western honeybee (Apis mellifera) and the consequences for biodiversity (2005, unknown): “Nomenclature: Linnaeus, 1758; Erichson, 1842; Mayr, 1868; Buren, 1972; Ruttner, 1988; Anderson & Trueman, 2000; Michener, 2000; Thorp & Shepherd, 2005.”
Molecular phylogeny and historical biogeography of the large carpenter bees, genus Xylocopa (Hymenoptera: Apidae) (2002, background): “Michener (1979, 2000) repeatedly discussed the likelihood of alternative hypotheses for the origin (in time and place) of the bees in general, and for families, tribes and genera.”
Tropical Forest Fragments Enhance Pollinator Activity in Nearby Coffee Crops (2004, background): “Although not all bees depend on natural habitats (Michener 2000), both meliponines and Apis are thought to require forest habitats for two reasons.”
The effect of repeated, lethal sampling on wild bee abundance and diversity (2015, background): “…cells, cavity or hive), diet (pollen generalists vs. pollen specialists), and sociality (eusocial vs. not eusocial) based on information compiled from published literature (Mitchell 1960; Hurd 1979; Cane, Griswold & Parker 2007; Michener 2007) and from extensive field experience by J.A. and E.W.”
Role of nesting resources in organising diverse bee communities in a Mediterranean landscape (2005, methodology): “Using existing literature (e.g. Stephen et al., 1969; O’Toole & Raw, 1991; Potts & Willmer, 1997; Michener, 2000) in conjunction with the authors’ combined field experience on Mt Carmel, a list of known and potentially important nesting resources was compiled.”
The same, but different: pollen foraging in honeybee and bumblebee colonies (2011, background): “Both larvae and adults are highly dependent on floral resources because they obtain their entire caloric energy from flowers (Michener 2007).”
The biology of the small hive beetle (Aethina tumida, Coleoptera: Nitidulidae): Gaps in our knowledge of an invasive species (2004, unknown): “Bumblebees do not occur in sub-Saharan Africa but are native to North America (Michener, 2000).”
What shapes amino acid and sugar composition in Mediterranean floral nectars (2006, unknown): “…longed tongued ones, and we argue that in the Mediterranean such bees might have acted as crucial selective factors for phenylalanine-rich nectars (Michener 1979, 2000, O’Toole and Raw 1991, Petani- dou and Ellis 1993, 1996, Dafni and O’Toole 1994, 164 OIKOS 115:1 (2006) O IK O S 1 1 5 :1 (2 0 0…”
