Plant origin and irrigation influence floral resource value and pollinator attraction to ornamental plants

|
By Scott AV, Chase MH, Lewis OT
| PeerJ
Our study shows that plant origin and irrigation are factors that affect floral traits and resources including flower density and pollen and nectar production, which in turn affect pollinator recruitment. However, the direction and magnitude of effects differ across plant responses and pollinator guilds. For example, native plants consistently outperformed non-native plants in terms of floral density, floral display, and pollen quantity, and with strong to very strong evidence for such effects.

Decline in wild bee species richness associated with honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) abundance in an urban ecosystem

|
By Chase MH, Scott AV, Benjamin EF, Graham KK
| PeerJ
Bee communities between years—2020 vs. 2013 In addition to assessing the impact of honey bee abundance on wild bee richness in 2020, we compared the 2020 wild bee community to that of 2013 at the same sites sampled by Normandin et al. (2017), when honey bee presence was minimal in Montréal. They also sampled bees in 2012 but bee community comparisons were limited to the more complete 2013 data set.
