• The same, but different: pollen foraging in honeybee and bumblebee colonies (2011, background): “Notably, studies that have investigated floral resources used by bumblebees were mainly focused on foragers observed at flowers in the field (Williams 1989; Goulson and Darvill 2004; Peat et al. 2005; Kleijn and Raemakers 2008; Xie et al. 2008; Connop et al. 2010).”

• Effects of grazing intensity on pollinator abundance and diversity, and on pollination services (2016, background): “…grazing alters the population density of entomophilous plants, thus flower cover and diversity (Vazquez & Simberloff, 2004; Mayer et al., 2006; Xie et al., 2008), and the floral community has been reported as the best predictor of 400 © 2016 The Royal Entomological Society pollinator…”
