Global invasions of the western honeybee (Apis mellifera) and the consequences for biodiversity (2005, background): “…and the other cavity-dwelling Apis species in Asia (A. cerana, A. koschevnikovi, A. nigrocincta, and A. nuluensis) in particular may also occur (for a recent review on the relatively few documented cases of the interactions between introduced A. mellifera and wild bees in Asia see Paini, 2004).”
Pollen Limitation of Plant Reproduction: Pattern and Process (2005, background): “…1980. hMothershead & Marquis 2000; Steets & Ashman 2004; Strauss et al. 1996; Irwin, Brody & Waser 2001. iWolfe et al. 2005. jDukas 2001, Dukas & Morse 2003, Muñoz & Arroyo 2004, Suttle 2003. kParker 1997. lRambuda & Johnson 2004. mO’Toole 1993, Paini 2004, Paton 1993, Sugden & Pyke 1991.”
Gauging the Effect of Honey Bee Pollen Collection on Native Bee Communities (2017, background): “Despite these documented effects of honey bees on native bees, several reviews (e.g., Goulson 2003; Paini 2004) failed to find consistent field evidence for competition between honey bees and native bees, perhaps because only short-term experiments at small spatial scales are available.”
Invasive Africanized honey bee impact on native solitary bees: a pollen resource and trap nest analysis (2009, background): “Simpson diversity registered high values for Centris in a drought year (1991) and a hurricane year (1988), which is also the year of highest megachilid pollen diversity (Fig.”
Flower-strip agri-environment schemes provide diverse and valuable summer flower resources for pollinating insects (2018, background): “Honeybees can be very competitive for flower resources, reducing the availability of flower resources for wild bee population in a radius up to one km around the apiary (Pyke and Balzer 1985; Paini 2004; Goulson and Sparrow 2009; Herbertsson et al.”
Evidence for competition between honeybees and bumblebees; effects on bumblebee worker size (2009, background): “The problems with interpreting such data are considerable; displacement of native bees from favoured flower species or areas does not necessarily indicate that their population is reduced (reviewed by Goulson 2003a; Paini 2004; Thomson 2006).”
Patterns of pollinator turnover and increasing diversity associated with urban habitats (2017, background): “Some authors have shown a negative impact of honey bees on native bee foraging and reproduction (Thomson 2004; Paini and Roberts 2005; Goulson and Sparrow 2009; Hudewenz and Klein 2015), whereas others have failed to detect any impact (reviewed in Paini 2004).”
The relative performance of sampling methods for native bees: an empirical test and review of the literature (2020, background): “…advantages over other monitoring methods in that they enable studying trophic relations (bee–pollen relationships and bee–parasitoid relationships; e.g., Roubik and VillanuevaGuti errez 2009) and enable bee demographic and fitness parameters to be quantified (Paini 2004, Hudewenz and Klein 2013).”
Biological invasions as disruptors of plant reproductive mutualisms. (2006, background): “Different studies have claimed competition between introduced honeybees and native pollinators, although only a few have measured competition directly [5,22, 25 ] .O ther invasive insects, such as bumblebees Bombus terrestris, the alfalfa leafcutter bee Megachile rotundata and wasps in the genus Ves”
A land for flowers and bees: studying pollination ecology in Mediterranean communities (2005, background): “Competition between honey bees and wild pollinators is believed to affect the abundance, distribution and relative success of wild pollinators (Kato et al., 1999; but see Steffan-Dewenter & Tscharntke, 2000; and Paini, 2004 for a review).”
