Assessing bee species richness in two Mediterranean communities: importance of habitat type and sampling techniques (2011, background): “Although the Mediterranean is one of the world’s highest bee diversity centers (Michener 2007), its bee species richness is relatively poorly documented (but see Petanidou and Ellis 1993, 1996; O’Toole and Raw 2004; Petanidou and Lamborn 2005; Petanidou and Potts 2006; Potts et al. 2006).”
Variable flowering phenology and pollinator use in a community suggest future phenological mismatch (2014, background): “…bees, whose activity and diversity is highest in warm and dry situations (O’Toole and Raw, 1991; Petanidou and Ellis, 1993, 1996; Michener, 2000; Petanidou and Lamborn, 2005; Nielsen et al., 2011) and whose activity has been shown elsewhere to be negatively correlated with precipitation (e.g.…”
Weed-insect pollinator networks as bio-indicators of ecological sustainability in agriculture. A review (2016, background): “Some flower colors are correlated with particular pollinator species, although this cannot be generalized since data from different environments do not necessarily lead to the same conclusion (Petanidou and Lamborn 2005).”
Insights from measuring pollen deposition: quantifying the pre-eminence of bees as flower visitors and effective pollinators (2017, background): “Data collection covered the Mediterranean ‘spring burst’ period (Pico and Retana 2001; Petanidou and Lamborn 2005), when Israeli flower visiting is dominated by bees and bee diversity (of species and genera) is particularly high.”
Effects of grazing intensity on pollinator abundance and diversity, and on pollination services (2016, methodology): “After processing in the laboratory, the specimens were identified to the species level (when necessary with the help of European specialists), and inputted in the database of the Melissotheque of the Aegean (Petanidou & Lamborn, 2005).”
