• MEASURING BEE DIVERSITY IN DIFFERENT EUROPEAN HABITATS AND BIOGEOGRAPHICAL REGIONS (2008, background): “By pooling the samples from the differently colored pan traps, we could also avoid bias due to color preferences of different bee taxa (Kirk 1984, Leong and Thorp 1999, Toler et al. 2005).”
• Effectiveness of Bowl Trapping and Netting for Inventory of a Bee Community (2011, background): “Bowl trap color (Toler et al. 2005) and trap placement within study plots (Tuell and Isaacs 2009, Droege et al. 2010) affect which, and how many, bees are collected in a survey.”
• Sampling Bee Communities (Hymenoptera: Apiformes) in a Desert Landscape: Are Pan Traps Sufficient? (2008, methodology): “While there was no overall color preference in the bee community in DPG, we suggest, as did Toler et al. (2005), that the use of multiple colors will be more successful in correctly representing the bee fauna than would a single color.”
• Diversity and abundance of solitary and primitively eusocial bees in an urban centre: a case study from Northampton (England) (2015, methodology): “Two methods, hand netting (30 min/ site/survey) and pan traps (3 pan traps for 7 h/site/survey), were used in bee surveys to avoid any biases in catching specific species (Toler et al. 2005; Roulston et al. 2007; Grundel et al. 2011).”
• Assessing bee species richness in two Mediterranean communities: importance of habitat type and sampling techniques (2011, background): “These colors accounted for different color preferences among bee species, increasing the trap clusters’ efficiency in attracting bees (Leong and Thorp 1999; Toler et al. 2005).”
• Comparative Trapping Efficiency to Characterize Bee Abundance, Diversity, and Community Composition in Apple Orchards (2015, methodology): “Based on color preferences of bees, several different colored bee-monitoring traps have been tested (Aizen and Feinsinger 1994, Toler et al. 2005).”
• Spatial patterns of bee captures in North American bowl trapping surveys (2010, methodology): “Over the past decade, pan, Moericke, or bowl traps (Kirk, 1984; Leong & Thorp, 1999; Cane et al., 2000; Monsevièius, 2004; Toler et al., 2005;Wilson et al., 2008) have become widely used to sample bees.”
• Landscape effects of forest loss in a pollination system (2007, background): “Different bee species and sexes within species are attracted to different colors and shapes of pan traps (Leong and Thorp 1999; Cane et al. 2000; Toler et al. 2005).”
• Elevated pan traps to monitor bees in flowering crop canopies (2009, methodology): “The use of pan traps to monitor bee communities is a relatively recent development, but it is increasingly used as a sampling tool by researchers in urban, pastoral, and natural landscapes (Leong & Thorp, 1999; McIntyre & Hostetler, 2001; Williams et al., 2001; Russell et al., 2005; Toler et al., 20”
• A Comparison of Pan Trap and Intensive Net Sampling Techniques for Documenting a Bee (Hymenoptera: Apiformes) Fauna (2007, background): “Based on their pan-trapping study, Toler et al. (2005) concluded that the predominant flower color in the plant community did not influence the relative attractiveness of particular pan trap colors, but they did not study the effect of floral abundance per se.”
