Ecological and life-history traits predict bee species responses to environmental disturbances (2010, background): “…were more negatively affected by older burns than above-ground-nesting species, perhaps because flushes of new vegetation following fires lead to dense herbaceous and shrub growth (Potts et al., 2003a, 2005) that in older burned areas may reduce access to unvegetated patches used by ground-nesters.”
Pollination ecology of acacias (Fabaceae, Mimosoideae) (2003, background): “However, the relative merits of introduced and native pollinators have rarely been compared (but see Potts et al. 2003a, b), and the utility of introduced pollinators cannot be assumed.”
Attractiveness of wildflower mixtures for wild bees and hoverflies depends on some key plant species (2018, background): “Pollinator diversity is generally related to flowering plant diversity in natural systems (Potts et al., 2003; Hegland & Boeke, 2006).”
Tree diversity is key for promoting the diversity and abundance of forest‐associated taxa in Europe (2020, background): “Their diversity is expected to be higher in stands with more tree species (Basset et al. 2012, Castagneyrol and Jactel 2012) because diverse stands provide more and/or better quality food for consumers (Potts et al. 2003, Haddad et al. 2009).”
Providing foraging resources for solitary bees on farmland: current schemes for pollinators benefit a limited suite of species (2017, background): “Bee communities are strongly structured by, and associated 425 with, plant species diversity (Tscharntke et al. 1998; Potts et al. 2003; Batáry et al. 2010), and so management 426”
Nectar resource diversity organises flower‐visitor community structure (2004, background): “Indeed, for Mount Carmel, flower abundance, pollen abundance, site age, nest-site availability, and the ratio of pollen energy to nectar energy availability all play important roles in organising the community structure (Potts et al., 2003).”
Weed-insect pollinator networks as bio-indicators of ecological sustainability in agriculture. A review (2016, background): “Yet, these areas are essential habitats for insect pollinators providing both appropriate foraging and nesting resources (Steffan-Dewenter and Tscharntke 2001; Potts et al. 2003; Vulliamy et al. 2006; Öckinger and Smith 2007; Goulson 2010; Rollin et al. 2013; Requier et al. 2014).”
The Restoration of Plant–Pollinator Interactions in Hay Meadows (2005, background): “Using Species Interactions in Restoration Ecology Although there has been a recent spate of studies investigating species interactions at the community level (e.g., Reed 1995; Dicks 2002; references in Ollerton & Cranmer 2002; Potts et al. 2003), this approach is rare in restoration research.”
Implications of Three Biofuel Crops for Beneficial Arthropods in Agricultural Landscapes (2010, background): “Similarly, landscape composition is a major determinant of the ability of bees to nest and locate suitable nectar and pollen resources, with greater bee abundance and reproduction in regions that have diverse flowering plant communities and a range of nesting substrates [28, 29, 32, 51].”
