• Delivery of crop pollination services is an insufficient argument for wild pollinator conservation (2015, unknown): “On mainland Europe, Bombus terrestris and B. lucorum workers and queens are extremely difficult to separate without careful microscopic examination or molecular techniques, and so are nearly always grouped together in field studies 51 .”
• Mitigating the anthropogenic spread of bee parasites to protect wild pollinators (2015, background): “…own production procedures, there is therefore a need for the development of accurate and cost-effective methods to identify the species and subspecies of bees, whichmay in some cases need the development of suitable genetic markers (Estoup et al., 1996; Widmer et al., 1998; Williams et al., 2012).”
