The foraging behaviour of honey bees, Apis mellifera: a review. (2018, background): “2012); the number of bees returning to the beehive (Beekman et al. 2004; Pernal and Currie 2010; Ali 2011) or leaving beehives (Alqarni 2006) or both (Abou-Shaara et al.”
Bee Food: The Chemistry and Nutritional Value of Nectar, Pollen and Mixtures of the Two (2011, background): “There is little evidence that bees can assess pollen quality and choose pollens with high protein levels (Pernal & Currie 2001; Roulston & Cane 2002).”
Weeds for bees? A review (2015, background): “Several studies have shown that honeybees then shift their attention to the weeds found in crops, as well as ligneous species, and may visit between one and two hundred species (around to one hundred species, e.g. Coffey and Breen 1997; Odoux et al. 2012; Pernal and Currie 2001).”
Flower-strip agri-environment schemes provide diverse and valuable summer flower resources for pollinating insects (2018, background): “Insect development and population growth depend on the quality and diversity of the available flower resources (Pernal and Currie 2001; Tasei and Aupinel 2008; Eckhardt et al.”
Comparing individual and spatial influences on foraging behaviour in Antarctic fur seals Arctocephalus gazella (2004, background): “…through a number of mechanisms including different prey capture or harvesting tactics (Bence 1986), morphological differences (i.e. age, size, gender; Werner & Gilliam 1984), intra-specific competition (Milinski 1982), experience (Pernal & Currie 2001) and habitat selection (Heithaus et al. 2002).”
Inner nest homeostasis in a changing environment with special emphasis on honey bee brood nursing and pollen supply (2004, background): “Recently, Pernal and Currie (2001) showed that honey bee colonies respond to changes in the stored pollen quality with a change in pollen forager recruitment but that individual foragers do not change the size or floral species of their individual pollen loads in response to changes in pollen…”
