• The use of conspecific and interspecific scent marks by foraging bumblebees and honeybees (2001, background): “However, we estimate that because of the large number of bees at the site, the frequency of retesting was low.”
• Larger pollinators deposit more pollen on stigmas across multiple plant species—A meta‐analysis (2020, background): “…of other morphological traits of pollinators such as hairiness (Phillips et al., 2018; Stavert et al., 2016) and proboscis length (Sun et al., 2013), particularly in circumstances where a specific floral morphology is better suited for pollination by a specific flower-visiting taxon (Stout, 2000).”
• Relationship between body size, provisioning rate, longevity and reproductive success in females of the solitary bee Osmia cornuta (2006, background): “Larger individuals have been found to have higher (Pyke 1978), equal (Morse 1978), or lower (Stout 2000) flower-visiting rates compared to small individuals.”
• The influence of Mimulus ringens floral display size on pollinator visitation patterns (2004, background): “Again, in such situations individual differences in foraging behaviour are likely to have strong effects on the plant’s mating system (Stout 2000; Thomson & Chittka 2001).”
• Functional group diversity of bee pollinators increases crop yield (2008, background): “In addition to the above traits, we sorted species into body size classes, as there was evidence that within-and betweenflower behaviours are strongly influenced by body size (Stout 2000).”
• Pollination of the invasive exotic shrub Lupinus arboreus (Fabaceae) by introduced bees in Tasmania (2002, background): “Contrary to many previous studies (for example Klinkhamer et al., 1989; Robertson and Macnair, 1995; Stout, 2000), we found no evidence to support the hypothesis that pollinator attraction varies with the population size of L. arboreus.”
• Effects of introduced bees on native ecosystems (2003, background): “This group includes the tree lupin, Lupinus arboreus, and broom, Cytisus scoparius, which are self-incompatible and rely on pollination by bumblebees (Stout et al. 2002, Stout 2000).”
