Flower‐visitor and pollen‐load data provide complementary insight into species and individual network roles Open
Most animal pollination results from plant–insect interactions, but how we perceive these interactions may differ with the sampling method adopted. The two most common methods are observations of visits by pollinators to plants and observa…

Stable pollination service in a generalist high Arctic community despite the warming climate Open
Insects provide key pollination services in most terrestrial biomes, but this service depends on a multistep interaction between insect and plant. An insect needs to visit a flower, receive pollen from the anthers, move to another conspeci…

Insect pollination and sustainable agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa Open
We are currently seeing an expansion of pollinator-dependent crops in many parts of the world, but also growing evidence for pollinator population declines and loss of pollinator habitat. Climate change and population growth will place add…

Estimating pollinator performance of visitors to the self-incompatible crop-plant <i>Brassica rapa</i> by single visit deposition and pollen germination: a comparison of methods. Open
Estimating the pollen-deposition effectiveness of flower visitors is fundamental to understanding their performance as pollinators. While estimates of visitation rates, pollen loads, and single visit deposition (SVD) are all useful proxies…

Constructing more informative plant–pollinator networks: visitation and pollen deposition networks in a heathland plant community Open
Interaction networks are widely used as tools to understand plant–pollinator communities, and to examine potential threats to plant diversity and food security if the ecosystem service provided by pollinating animals declines. However, mos…
