• Síndromes de polinização e de dispersão em fragmentos da Floresta Estacional Semidecídua Montana, SP, Brasil (2007, background): “Recentemente, o conceito de síndrome de polinização tem sido criticado por autores como Waser et al. (1996) e Mayfield et al. (2001), que observaram que muitas flores são visitadas por numerosas espécies de polinizadores generalistas.”
• Restoration of Nontarget Species: Bee Communities and Pollination Function in Riparian Forests (2011, background): “This approach ignores potential differences in quality among pollinators due to the amount or quality of pollen they transfer (Harder & Barrett 1996; Mayfield et al. 2001; Thomson 2003); however, a recent analysis suggests that it can serve as a reasonable first approximation for pollination in…”
• Preferences for exotic flowers do not promote urban life in butterflies (2010, background): “Covolution between plants and pollinators (Mayfield et al., 2001; loch andErhardt, 2008;Armbruster andMuchhala, 2009) involves”
• TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL VARIATION IN POLLINATION OF A MONTANE HERB: A SEVEN-YEAR STUDY (2005, unknown): “…quantitative estimates for the relative effects on pollen receipt of visitation by different pollinators and floral larcenists that agree with independent estimates derived by other means, including manipulative experiments (e.g., Irwin and Brody 1998, Mayfield et al. 2001, Engel and Irwin 2003).”
• A land for flowers and bees: studying pollination ecology in Mediterranean communities (2005, background): “For example, bees deposited more pollen in Ipomopsis than hummingbirds (Mayfield et al, 2001 , but see also Waser & Price, 1989 ).”
• Pollinator webs, plant communities and the conservation of rare plants: arable weeds as a case study (2006, background): “The quality component refers to the amount of compatible pollen transferred on each visit, and quantity can be reflected by measuring the frequency with which the insect species visits the flowers ( Mayfield, Waser & Price 2001 ).”
• Non-bee insects are important contributors to global crop pollination (2015, unknown): “One outcome is that taxa with less efficient pollen deposition may be the most important pollinators in certain years or seasons when they are at high abundance relative to other taxa (28, 59, 60).”
