Linking Land Cover Data and Crop Yields for Mapping and Assessment of Pollination Services in Europe (2013, methodology): “We submitted an inventory of bee species diversity in different European habitats across different biogeographical regions [43] to the GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) database and extracted all occurrences.”
Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia): a beneficial forage legume (2011, background): “…ten times more bees than Trifolium repens (Rosov, 1952; McGregor, 1976; Kells, 2001) and are visited by managed and indigenous pollinator insect species, including Apis, Bombus and Osmia (Horne, 1995; Clement et al., 2006; Howes, 2007; USDA SARE, 2007; Westphal et al., 2008; Taki et al., 2009).”
Habitat area but not habitat age determines wild bee richness in limestone quarries (2009, background): “This variable transect approach is recommended for wild bee recording (Westphal et al. 2008).”
Economic and ecological implications of geographic bias in pollinator ecology in the light of pollinator declines (2014, background): “Such protocols facilitate the rapid collection of data that can readily be compared across studies separated both temporally and spatially (Westphal et al. 2008).”
The effect of repeated, lethal sampling on wild bee abundance and diversity (2015, background): “…protocols have motivated the collection of long-term bee pollinator data using monitoring programmes (Committee on the Status of Pollinators inNorth America, & National Research Council 2007; Westphal et al. 2008) and the proposal of large-scale, long-term community efforts (Lebuhn et al. 2013).”
Evaluating nesting microhabitat for ground-nesting bees using emergence traps (2014, methodology): “Immediately following pan trap set-up, we netted all bee species visiting flowers within the study area for 40 minutes using variable transect walks (Westphal et al., 2008).”
Direct and indirect effects of invasive species: Biodiversity loss is a major mechanism by which an invasive tree affects ecosystem functioning (2019, methodology): “Wild pollinator, excluding Apis mellifera L., and parasitoid wasp abundance were sampled using pan traps (Westphal et al., 2008).”
Factors affecting bee communities in forest openings and adjacent mature forest (2017, background): “Although bowl traps avoid collector bias, which may affect samples collected by opportunistic netting techniques (Westphal et al., 2008), bowl traps tend to catch fewer large-bodied bees and fewer individuals of certain genera (Cane et al.”
Have changing forests conditions contributed to pollinator decline in the southeastern United States (2015, methodology): “Bees were sampled using pan traps, the most effective way to sample variable forest habitats for direct comparison (Campbell and Hanula, 2007; Westphal et al., 2008; Droege, 2013).”
How to monitor ecological communities cost-efficiently: The example of plant–pollinator networks (2010, methodology): “This type of transect sampling is considered an efficient method for monitoring of plant–pollinator mutualisms (Westphal et al., 2008).”
Influence of tree characteristics and forest management on tree microhabitats (2011, background): “, 1997), bees (Westphal et al., 2008), as well as saproxylic organisms (Winter et al.”
Short-term responses of native bees to livestock and implications for managing ecosystem services in grasslands (2012, background): “Advantages include the fact that relatively few traps are needed to collect large numbers of bees, traps are easy to work with in field conditions and are highly selective for bees, and their effectiveness is not affected by the experience and capabilities of the sampler (Westphal et al. 2008).”
