Spatial patterns of bee captures in North American bowl trapping surveys (2010, unknown): “, 2008), and have estimated the efficacy of different collection methods (Jacob-Remacle, 1984; Noyes, 1989; Riemann, 1995; Banaszak & Krzysztofiak, 1996; Cane et al., 2000; Monsevièius, 2004; Bartholomew & Prowell, 2005; Giles & Ascher, 2006;Wells &Decker, 2006; Campbell &Hanula, 2007; Roulston et a”
The relative performance of sampling methods for native bees: an empirical test and review of the literature (2020, background): “…flowers, whereas in residential areas, the wide array of unsuitable flowers may mean that bees are more likely to be attracted to colored pan traps, akin to suggestions that pan traps are more effective in resource-poor habitats (Potts et al. 2005, Roulston et al. 2007, Baum and Wallen 2011).”
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., 2000; Cane, 2001; Roulston et al., 2007).”
Assessing bee species richness in two Mediterranean communities: importance of habitat type and sampling techniques (2011, background): “However, a particular method may be biased towards sampling species with particular traits (Roulston et al. 2007; Westphal et al. 2008; Wilson et al. 2008).”
Can green roofs provide habitat for urban bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae)? (2009, methodology): “Since our study used only pan traps as a collection method, larger bees such as Bombus and Xylocopa were likely underrepresented in our surveys (Roulston et al. 2007), despite being common on campus (S. Colla, pers. obs.).”
Intensification of agriculture, landscape composition and wild bee communities: a large scale study in four European countries. (2010, methodology): “However this method allows catching bees of all body sizes whereas large-bodied species (particularly bumblebees and honeybee) are undersampled by pan trap without window (Roulston et al., 2007; Westphal et al., 2008).”
Elevated pan traps to monitor bees in flowering crop canopies (2009, background): “Pan traps may be biased toward attracting some bee taxa over others (Roulston et al., 2007) and may underestimate the abundance of large bees.”
MEASURING BEE DIVERSITY IN DIFFERENT EUROPEAN HABITATS AND BIOGEOGRAPHICAL REGIONS (2008, background): “Another study also reported great differences between the outcomes of pan traps and net collections (Roulston et al. 2007).”
Effectiveness of Bowl Trapping and Netting for Inventory of a Bee Community (2011, methodology): “Roulston et al. (2007) also collected Colletes mainly by netting.”
Restoration of Nontarget Species: Bee Communities and Pollination Function in Riparian Forests (2011, background): “Bee and Flower Sampling I surveyed bees within the plots every 6 weeks from late February through August 2003 using net collecting and pan sampling (Roulston et al. 2007; Westphal et al. 2008).”
