• Nearby rainforest promotes coffee pollination by increasing spatio-temporal stability in bee species richness (2009, background): “Most susceptible are small, stingless eusocial bee species such as members of the family Meliponinae that often nest in high trees (Roubik, 1988; Heard, 1999; Brown and Albrecht, 2001; Slaa et al., 2006; Brosi et al., 2008).”
• Massively Introduced Managed Species and Their Consequences for Plant–Pollinator Interactions (2017, background): “This is the case for stingless bees such as Trigona and Melipona species, which are increasingly used for greenhouse pollination (reviewed in Slaa et al., 2006). involved in pollination processes and we review the mechanisms by which they interact with other species.”
• Pollination efficiency of wild bees and hoverflies provided to oilseed rape (2012, background): “…efficiency of wild bees for oilseed rape and other crops has been demonstrated, where they may economically substitute for honeybees in agricultural plantations and in plant breeding schemes within enclosed environments (Steffan-Dewenter, 2003; Slaa et al., 2006, Sheffield et al., 2008).”
• The effects of forest fragmentation on bee communities in tropical countryside (2007, background): “Colony members recruit one another to floral resources, meaning they can successfully pollinate briefly blooming tropical plants and crops such as coffee (Heard 1999; Klein et al. 2002; Klein, Steffan-Dewenter & Tscharntke 2003; Ricketts 2004; Slaa et al. 2006), although they occasionally act as nec”
