Plant-pollinator biodiversity and pollination services in a complex mediterranean landscape (2006, background): “…parasites (Schmid-Hempel and Durrer, 1991); climate change (Price and Waser, 1998); introduced non-native plants (Brown et al., 2002; Chittka and Schürkens, 2001) and competition with managed pollinators (Gross, 2001; Steffan-Dewenter and Tscharntke, 2000; Thomson, 2004; Paini and Roberts, 2005).”
Food in a row: urban trees offer valuable floral resources to pollinating insects (2016, background): “the increase in urban beehives; Alton and Ratnieks 2013), a shortage of entomophilous plants might strengthen competition between honey bees and other pollinating insects (Thomson 2004; Goulson and Sparrow 2008) and/or lead to a collapse in urban populations of honey bees and honey production (Potts”
Collateral effects of beekeeping: Impacts on pollen-nectar resources and wild bee communities (2016, methodology): “…pt d m n uscr ipt (Steffan-Dewenter & Tscharntke, 2000), changes in flower choice (Forup & Memmott, 2005; 107 Valido et al., 2014), foraging activity (Thomson, 2004), and visitation rates (Hudewenz & Klein, 108 2013; Roubik, 1978) of wild pollinators confronted with different honey bee scenarios.”
Can commercially imported bumble bees out‐compete their native conspecifics? (2006, background): “Although providing evidence of competition between introduced bees and native bees is complex (Goulson 2003), some studies indicate that honey bees can have negative impacts on bumble bees through competition for food ( Thomson 2004; Forup & Memmott 2005).”
Global invasions of the western honeybee (Apis mellifera) and the consequences for biodiversity (2005, background): “The extent to which this introduced species alters native communities and biodiversity remains controversial, reflecting an ongoing dispute over the importance of resource competition in regulating pollinator populations (Thomson, 2004).”
Patterns of pollinator turnover and increasing diversity associated with urban habitats (2017, background): “Yet many bee species persist in urban areas (Saure 1996; Tommasi et al. 2004; Frankie et al. 2005).”
Short-term responses of native bees to livestock and implications for managing ecosystem services in grasslands (2012, background): “…exposure to parasites and pathogens, the overuse of insecticides, the introduction of non-native species, such as the honey bee, Apis mellifera, and habitat destruction and degradation associated with human activities, such as agriculture (Thomson 2004, Winfree et al. 2009, Potts et al. 2010).”
Evidence for competition between honeybees and bumblebees; effects on bumblebee worker size (2009, background): “In western USA, Thomson (2004) experimentally introduced honeybees and found that proximity to hives significantly reduced the foraging rates and reproductive success of B. occidentalis colonies.”
Ecological effects of invasive alien insects (2008, background): “Thomson (2004) provides the first experimental demonstration of the negative effects of non native honey bees on native bumblebees .”
Massively Introduced Managed Species and Their Consequences for Plant–Pollinator Interactions (2017, background): “Other studies found that the maintenance of honeybee colonies had a significant impact on the fitness of bumblebees as measured by their colony weight, and the number and the weight of their reproducing caste (Elbgami et al., 2014; Thomson, 2004).”
Detecting the effects of introduced species: a case study of competition between Apis and Bombus (2006, result): “7 per colony (Thomson 2004).”
Impacts of Invasive Species on Food Webs: A Review of Empirical Data (2017, background): “Decreases in niche breadth have also been documented for native ants (Human and Gordon, 1996) and bees (Thomson, 2004) following invasion by competing species.”
