• Insect communities and biotic interactions on fragmented calcareous grasslands - a mini review (2002, background): “A study of smallscale fragmentation showed lower visitation frequency of the most common pollinator, Bombus veteranus, and a change in foraging behaviour in fragments compared to control plots (Goverde et al., 2002).”
• How well do we understand landscape effects on pollinators and pollination services (2012, background): “2002, Westphal et al., 2003, Dixon, 2009) composed of primary vegetation or as the result of natural regeneration or restoration initiatives (Goverde et al. 2002; Kremen et al. 2007).”
• The effect of grazing on bumblebees in the high rangelands of the eastern Tibetan Plateau of Sichuan (2008, background): “It is presumed that bumblebees would need to fly longer distances to their food resources when the foraging habitats are broken into fragments (Goverde et al. 2002), but field observations describe bumblebees foraging over distances of only a few hundred metres (Osborne et al. 1999; Walther-Hellwig…”
• AN EXPERIMENTAL TEST OF WHETHER HABITAT CORRIDORS AFFECT POLLEN TRANSFER (2005, background): “Hand-pollination experiments in small populations typically reveal pollination limitation (reviewed in Keller and Waller 2002), targeting attention on how habitat fragmentation affects pollinator behavior (Schulke and Waser 2001, Goverde et al. 2002).”
• Generalist foraging of pollinators: diet expansion at high density (2008, background): “Changes in pollinator densities and competitive interactions are therefore important factors for the functioning of plant–pollinator networks, particularly in fragmented habitats where changes in pollinator behaviour have been reported (e.g. Goverde et al. 2002).”
• Do linear landscape elements in farmland act as biological corridors for pollen dispersal? (2010, background): “Plant density and patch size and spacingmay affect pollinator behaviour such as visitation frequency and visiting distance (Spira 2001; Goverde et al. 2002; Ishihama &Washitani 2007; Andrieu et al. 2009; Krauss, Alfert & SteffanDewenter 2009).”
