DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4881
Abstract: Abstract The evolutionary origin of periodical mass‐flowering plants (shortly periodical plants), exhibiting periodical mass flowering and death immediately after flowering, has not been demonstrated. Within the genus Strobilanthes (Acanthaceae), which includes more than 50 periodical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13744-019-00688-3
Abstract: Pollinators foraging for food resources can be waylaid by mass-flowering plants located in their foraging pathway in landscapes. The waylaying effect of pollinators is often studied at a single spatial scale; to date, little is… read more here.

Spatial community turnover of pollinators is relaxed by semi-natural habitats, but not by mass-flowering crops in agricultural landscapes

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2018.01.016
Abstract: Abstract Understanding beta-diversity, i.e. species turnover in space and time, is essential for informing conservation actions. Soaring cultivation of mass flowering crops (e.g. oil seed rape OSR) and loss of semi-natural habitats (SNH) can strongly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2656.12908
Abstract: Empirical studies of annual eusocial insects in agricultural landscapes report contrasting findings with regard to colony responses to mass-flowering of crops such as oilseed rape. In particular, total sexual production is often unaffected by such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/plb.13398
Abstract: In dioecious, bee-pollinated tree species, male and female flowers offer different resources. It is unclear how this unbalanced quantity and quality of floral resources affects flower visits and pollen transfer to female flowers. We asked,… read more here.
