Assessing bee species richness in two Mediterranean communities: importance of habitat type and sampling techniques (2011, background): “In addition, the regular soil dis- turbance prevents perennial plants and shrubs from dominating, thus allowing high densities of annual plants to flourish, many of which provide substantial floral resources for bees (Potts et al. 2003b, 2004).”
What shapes amino acid and sugar composition in Mediterranean floral nectars (2006, unknown): “Despite the first impression of precariousness and poverty, phrygana bears a rich flora, and many nesting possibilities for ground and twig nesting bees (Petanidou and Ellis 1993, Potts et al. 2004).”
Relationships between the density and diversity of floral resources and flower visitor activity in a temperate grassland community (2006, background): “A strong relationship between plant species richness and activity of flower-visiting insects has been found in other studies (e.g. Potts et al. , 2003, 2004 ).”
A land for flowers and bees: studying pollination ecology in Mediterranean communities (2005, background): “Since the mid 1980s, there has been a sharp increase in the number of studies assessing the value of Mediterranean habitats for the biodiversity of pollinators, and for p – p relationships (eg, Dafni & O'Toole, 1994 ; Potts et al, 2003a b 2004 2005a ; J Herrera, 1988 ; Petanidou, 1991 ; Pe”
Contrasting responses of bee communities to coffee flowering at different spatial scales (2006, background): “Additionally, pollinators may prefer certain flower positions on a single plant (Hamba ¨ck 2001) and differences in pollen deposition at different heights have also been found ( Lortie and Aarsen 1999 ).”
