Assessing pollinators’ use of floral resource subsidies in agri-environment schemes: An illustration using Phacelia tanacetifolia and honeybees
(2016-11-15)BACKGROUND: Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) are frequently used in agriculture for pollination services because of their abundance, generalist floral preferences, ease of management and hive transport. However, their ... -
Can ecosystem-scale translocations mitigate the impact of climate change on terrestrial biodiversity? : promises, pitfalls, and possibilities
(F1000 Research Ltd, 2016-03-07)Because ecological interactions are the first components of the ecosystem to be impacted by climate change, future forms of threatened-species and ecosystem management should aim at conserving complete, functioning communities ... -

A molecular approach to study Hymenoptera diets using wasp nests
(Pensoft Publishers, 2020-11-13)The study of animal diets has benefited from the rise of high-throughput DNA sequencing applied to stomach content or faecal samples. The latter can be fresh samples used to describe recent meals or older samples, which ... -
Persistence of biodiversity in a dryland remnant within an intensified dairy farm landscape
(New Zealand Ecological Society, 2016-01-11)The lowland Canterbury Plains of New Zealand have been extensively modified since human occupation, but with recent conversions to irrigated dairy farming very few remnants of native dryland vegetation remain in the region. ... -
Preference of a native beetle for "exoticism", characteristics that contribute to invasive success of Costelytra zealandica (Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae)
(PeerJ (London), 2015-11-30)Widespread replacement of native ecosystems by productive land sometimes results in the outbreak of a native species. In New Zealand, the introduction of exotic pastoral plants has resulted in diet alteration of the ... -
Scarcity of ecosystem services : an experimental manipulation of declining pollination rates and its economic consequences for agriculture
(PeerJ, 2016-07-05)Ecosystem services (ES) such as pollination are vital for the continuous supply of food to a growing human population, but the decline in populations of insect pollinators worldwide poses a threat to food and nutritional ... -
