Biotic interactions in species distribution modelling: 10 questions to guide interpretation and avoid false conclusions (2018, background): “Despite a growing interest in such predictive models (Garibaldi et al., 2015; Gravel, 2013; Kissling et al., 2012), there is not yet a fully established method to predict interactions between species pairs from traits (for attempts, see Dehling et al.”
Pollination efficiency and foraging behaviour of honey bees and non‐Apis bees to sweet cherry (2019, background): “Because bumble bees are large bees, this might create a morphological mismatch between pollinator and flower (but see Blüthgen & Klein, 2011; Garibaldi et al., 2015).”
Impacts of honeybee density on crop yield: A meta‐analysis (2019, methodology): “The flower size classification was realized by the measure of the widest part and defined as “small” (1–35 mm) or “large” (>35 mm) (see Garibaldi et al., 2015).”
