Pollen transport differs among bees and flies in a human‐modified landscape (2011, methodology): “This technique measures pollen on the underside of insects and does not include pollen contained within corbiculae that may contribute to total pollen load but is unlikely to be involved in pollination events (Thorp, 2000).”
Closely related pollen generalist bees differ in their ability to develop on the same pollen diet: evidence for physiological adaptations to digest pollen (2011, background): “…flower structures (Vogel 1993; Harder & Barclay 1994; Müller 1995; Westerkamp 1997; Westerkamp & Classen-Bockhoff 2007), from where it can be efficiently harvested only by bees possessing specialized morphological or behavioural adaptations (Thorp 2000; Müller et al. 2006 and references therein).”
Mouthparts of flower-visiting insects (2005, background): “Pollen is either transported internally in the crop and regurgitated in the nest (Hylaeinae, Euryglossinae and pollen-wasps) or it is loaded into external, pollen-carrying structures (scopa and corbicula) as in most bees (Thorp, 1979, 2000; Wcislo and Cane, 1996).”
Pollination services are mediated by bee functional diversity and landscape context (2015, background): “specialized pubescence of all the Andrena species we observed (Michner 2000; Gardner & Ascher 2006) is readily transferred to the stigma (Thorp 2000), much in contrast to pollen packed moist into the hind leg scopae of honey bees (Westerkamp 1991).”
Adaptive radiation and coevolution — pollination biology case studies (2004, background): “…far more adaptations of oligoleges to exploiting the specific pollen ARTICLE IN PRESS K. Lunau / Organisms, Diversity & Evolution 4 (2004) 207–224214 food plants have been found than adaptations of the pollen food plants to facilitating pollination by oligoleges (Thorp 1979, 2000; M .uller 1995).”
