- Biology
- 1 October 2010
Abstract The ability to predict the responses of ecological communities and individual species to human-induced environmental change remains a key issue for ecologists and conservation managers… Expand
Pollination and other ecosystem services produced by mobile organisms: a conceptual framework for the effects of land-use change.
- C. Kremen, Neal M. Williams, +16 authors T. Ricketts
- Medicine
- Ecology letters
- 1 April 2007
Many ecosystem services are delivered by organisms that depend on habitats that are segregated spatially or temporally from the location where services are provided. Management of mobile organisms… Expand
A simple and distinctive microbiota associated with honey bees and bumble bees

Urbanization within the Tucson Basin of Arizona during the past 50+ years has fragmented the original desert scrub into patches of different sizes and ages. These remnant patches and the surrounding… Expand
Sampling Bees (Hymenoptera: Apiformes) for Pollinator Community Studies: Pitfalls of Pan-trapping
- J. Cane, R. Minckley, Linda J. Kervin
- Biology
- 2000
With the growing interest in pollinator conservation, a need has emerged for a simple, unbiased method to reliably sample local bee faunas. One method, pan-trapping, has increased in popularity… Expand

Behavior and Phenology of a Specialist Bee (Dieunomia) and Sunflower (Helianthus) Pollen Availability
- R. Minckley, W. Wcislo, Douglas Yanega, S. L. Buchmann
- Biology
- 1 July 1994
The phenological relationships between nesting behavior of a specialist, solitary bee, Dieunomia triangulifera, and the flowering of its primary pollen source, Helianthus annuus, were studied for 3… Expand
Spatial predictability and resource specialization of bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) at a superabundant, widespread resource
- R. Minckley, J. Cane, Linda J. Kervin, T. Roulston
- Biology
- 1 May 1999
Abstract For reciprocal specialization (coevolution) to occur among floral visitors and their host plants the interactions must be temporally and spatially persistent. However, studies repeatedly… Expand
