Pollinator Diversity: Distribution, Ecological Function, and Conservation (2017, background): “For example, some North American Asclepias species are known to be pollinated by more than 100 different types of insects (Ollerton & Liede 1997), and pollinators such as bees in the genera Bombus and Apis that can visit and pollinate a high proportion of plants within a community, or super generali”
Toward a network perspective of the study of resilience in social-ecological systems (2006, background): “From ecology we have food webs (Dunne et al. 2002), plant-pollinator networks (Olesen and Jordano 2002, Jordano et al. 2003, Olesen et al. 2002), landscape ecology networks (Keitt et al. 1997, Bunn et al. 2000, Urban and Keitt 2001), and networks of social insects (Fewell 2003).”
The ecological consequences of complex topology and nested structure in pollination webs. (2006, background): “B, Examples of the interaction patterns in relatively simple plant-pollinator webs (Açores Islands; Olesen et al. 2002 ; Zackenberg, Greenland, Olesen and Elberling, unpubl.).”
A review on the effects of alien rodents in the Balearic (Western Mediterranean Sea) and Canary Islands (Eastern Atlantic Ocean) (2009, background): “Because of the relatively lower species richness and the presence of endemic generalists ( Olesen et al. 2002 ), we would expect a stronger effect of such invader complexes on islands.”
Current mismatch between research and conservation efforts: The need to study co-occurring invasive plant species (2013, background): “These ideas have propagated research on multiple invasions, much of this focused on co-occurring animal invasions and cases in which introduced animals interact with introduced plants (Green et al., 2011; Olesen et al., 2002).”
Global change and species interactions in terrestrial ecosystems. (2008, background): “Recent exceptions are the studies by Memmott & Waser (2002), Olesen et al. (2002), Aizen et al. (2008) and Bartomeus et al. (2008).”
Global patterns of interaction specialization in bird–flower networks (2017, background): “…communities (Abrahamczyk et al., 2015; Dalsgaard et al., 2009; MacArthur & Wilson, 1963), but may also be due to the tendency of generalist species to have greater establishment success on islands than specialist species (Maldonado et al., 2013; Olesen et al., 2002; Traveset et al., 2015).”
