An examination of synchrony between insect emergence and flowering in Rocky Mountain meadows (2011, background): “In our study area, warmer and drier years in the last several decades have been associated with periods of midsummer floral scarcity (Aldridge et al. 2011), and some plant species, in particular, have experienced a recent series of bad flowering years caused by spring frost damage to developing…”
Pollination services at risk: Bee habitats will decrease owing to climate change in Brazil (2012, background): “Recently, it was also reported that climate change can disrupt flowering phenology, negatively affecting pollinators (Aldridge et al., 2011), and that it can cause a spatial mismatch between the geographical areas occupied by interacting species (Schweiger et al.”
Morphological traits are linked to the cold performance and distribution of bees along elevational gradients (2016, background): “…of the year (Stone & Willmer, 1989; Herrera, 1995; Kovac & Stabentheiner, 2011) and significant amounts of floral resources become available in spring when mean daily temperatures are still low (Fitter & Fitter, 2002; Oberrath & B€ohning-Gaese, 2002; Aldridge et al., 2011; Inari et al., 2012).”
