Massively Introduced Managed Species and Their Consequences for Plant–Pollinator Interactions (2017, background): “The effects of honeybee introductions on small oceanic islands are, however, difficult to assess due to the lack of suitable control sites without honeybees (Dupont et al., 2004; Hansen et al., 2002).”
Impact of introduced honey bees on native pollination interactions of the endemic Echium wildpretii (Boraginaceae) on Tenerife, Canary Islands (2004, background): “Results of some studies indicate that foraging patterns and abundance of native pollinators are altered in the presence of honey bees (Roubik, 1978; Schaffer et al., 1983; Sugden and Pyke, 1991; Paton, 1993; Wenner and Thorp, 1994; Vaughton, 1996; Gross and Mackay, 1998; Gross, 2001; Hansen et al., ”
Conservation and restoration of plant–animal mutualisms on oceanic islands (2010, background): “In the western Indian Ocean, for example, Mauritius used to harbour 23 mostly or partly frugivorous bird, reptile and mammal species, Réunion had 16, Rodrigues 11, the granitic Seychelles islands 14, and similar numbers were found on the other side of Africa, on the Canary islands, with Tenerife ha”
Biological invasions as disruptors of plant reproductive mutualisms. (2006, background): “... and/or in changes in foraging behaviour [23] Removal of pollen previously deposited on stigmas by native pollinators [19,20,27] Low pollination fidelity and wastage of pollen on other species [20] Differential flower sex visitation rate resulting in lower quantities of pollen transferred [12] Gr”
Community structure of pollination webs of Mauritian heathland habitats (2009, background): “Similarly, the foraging behaviour of the endemic grey white-eye Zosterops mauritianus, which was more frequently encountered at the restored site, appears to be linked to habitat composition and the availability of floral resources (Hansen et al., 2002; Kaiser et al., 2008).”
Ecosystem Services Provided by Birds (2008, background): “Consequences of this recent phenomenon are not well understood (Hansen et al. 2002; Celebrezze & Paton 2004; Dupont et al. 2004a,b).”
Ecological effects of invasive alien insects (2008, background): “In particular, it has been often reported to cause a decline in native bee and bird species, particularly on islands (e.g. Roubik 1978; Kato et al. 1999; Hansen et al. 2002; Dupont et al. 2003).”
