DOI: 10.13102/sociobiology.v65i4.3472
Abstract: Agriculture driven landscape changes has caused worldwide forest loss and fragmentation, seriously affecting biodiversity and ecosystem services, amongst which pollination is remarkably important. Bees are an essential pollinator group for forest plant populations and food… read more here.

DOI: 10.1656/058.019.0103
Abstract: Abstract Global pollinator declines have stimulated efforts to better understand local pollinator diversity. Urban greenspaces, such as parks and gardens, have the potential to serve as refuges for pollinators within urban landscapes. In this study,… read more here.
