Pollen thermotolerance of a widespread plant in response to climate warming: possible local adaptation of populations from different elevations

This study examines pollen thermotolerance in Lotus corniculatus populations from different elevations, finding that highland populations show reduced germination at lower temperatures compared to lowland populations.

Invertebrate herbivory damage of lowland plant species decreases after an experimental shift to higher altitudes

This study shows that lowland plants experience less herbivory damage when moved to higher altitudes, supporting the enemy release hypothesis in the context of altitudinal range shifts.

Body size, not species identity, drives body heating in alpine Erebia butterflies

The paper investigates body heating in alpine Erebia butterflies, finding that body size, not species identity, influences heating rates, with behavioral thermoregulation playing a key role.

Climatic niche conservatism and ecological diversification in the Holarctic cold-dwelling butterfly genus Erebia

This study examines climatic niche evolution in the butterfly genus Erebia, finding that climatic niche conservatism promotes speciation while clades show divergent niche adaptations.

Are plants in sown flower strips suitable for communities of wild bees? Pollination network approach in conservation biology

The paper evaluates the function of sown flower strips for wild bee communities using pollination networks, finding similar network robustness but differences in diversity and functional importance of plant species.

Individual-level specialisation and interspecific resource partitioning in bees revealed by pollen DNA metabarcoding

This study uses pollen DNA metabarcoding to show individual-level specialisation and interspecific resource partitioning in three bee species across multiple temporal scales.

Water stress and nitrogen supply affect floral traits and pollination in the white mustard, (Brassicaceae)

This study examines how water stress and nitrogen supply affect floral traits, pollination, and seed production in Sinapis alba across different seasons.

Changing pollinator communities along a disturbance gradient in the Sundarbans mangrove forest: a case study on Acanthus ilicifolius and Avicennia officinalis

This study examines how human disturbances affect pollinator communities and plant-pollinator interactions in the Sundarbans mangrove forest.

An empirical attack tolerance test alters the structure and species richness of plant-pollinator networks

The paper removes generalist plants from real plant-pollinator networks and shows increased species and interaction extinctions, reduced nestedness, and increased modularity, indicating network instability.

Does a strong reduction of colony workforce affect the foraging strategy of a social pollinator?

This study examines how reducing bumblebee workforce affects foraging strategies, finding little change in diet breadth or network-level indices despite increased foraging effort.

Experimental loss of generalist plants reveals alterations in plant-pollinator interactions and a constrained flexibility of foraging

The paper experiments with removing generalist plants to study effects on plant-pollinator interactions and finds reduced visitation and constrained pollinator flexibility.

Effects Of Small-Scale Clustering Of Flowers On Pollinator Foraging Behaviour And Flower Visitation Rate

This study examines how flower clustering affects pollinator foraging behavior and visitation rates in Dracocephalum moldavica, finding non-linear patterns that contradict optimal foraging theory.
