Factors affecting bee communities in forest openings and adjacent mature forest (2017, result): “Capture rates in openings in this study were lower than those of open meadow habitats dominated by perennial flowering plants (Gezon et al., 2015), nevertheless, the broad extent of silvicultural habitats in the eastern U.”
Is the insect apocalypse upon us? How to find out (2020, background): “Long-term monitoring should consider the relative economic and ecological costs and benefits; although regular lethal trapping may not have major impacts on insect communities (Gezon et al., 2015), the economic costs of sampling and identification of large volumes of many taxa may be prohibitive (Te”
Interpreting insect declines: seven challenges and a way forward (2020, background): “We stress that it is unlikely for standardised quantitative monitoring programmes to cause population-wide decline due to over-collection (e.g. Gezon et al., 2015), although the potential risks to rare or localised species should always be evaluated carefully.”
Cavity-nest boxes for solitary bees: a century of design and research (2017, unknown): “Some of these techniques sample broadly , such as pan traps (Kearns and Inouye 1993; Gezon et al. 2015), window traps (Rubene et al. 2015), Malaise traps (Malaise 1937; Darling and Packer 1988), sweep netting (Richards et al. 2011) and observations of visitors to flowers (Deguines et al. 2016).”
Monitoring insect pollinators and flower visitation: The effectiveness and feasibility of different survey methods (2019, background): “Though lethal, pan traps are unlikely to reduce pollinating insect populations at the sampling intensities tested here (Gezon et al., 2015).”
Keeping invertebrate research ethical in a landscape of shifting public opinion (2019, background): “The limited evidence available on target species suggests sampling for research has little effect on study populations (Gezon et al., 2015), but very little work has been done on the impacts of trapping on non-target species.”
