DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8396
Abstract: Abstract Land‐use and land‐cover change associated with agriculture is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss. In heavily modified agricultural landscapes, grazing lands may be the only areas that can provide essential resources for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cois.2019.11.001
Abstract: Resource competition likely plays an important role in some insect pollinator declines and in shaping effects of environmental change on pollination services. Past research supports that competition for floral resources affects bee foragers, but mostly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/beheco/arx058
Abstract: Lay SummaryLearning enables generalists to forage efficiently from diverse floral resources. Bees must collect nectar and pollen, but effective, flexible foraging behavior has been demonstrated only for nectar foragers. We demonstrate that flexible and effective… read more here.
