Using DNA Metabarcoding to Study Interactions Between Native Bees and Plants: Technical Developments and Applications

Creator:

Arstingstall, Katherine A.

Abstract:

Pollination is an essential ecosystem service that sustains functioning ecosystems and aids in food production. In response to recent, widespread declines of managed and native bee populations, many land managers have shown interest in developing conservation and restoration plans for enhancing native bee habitat. However, there is a lack of...

Impacts of Range Management Decisions on Native Pollinators: Innovative Grazing Practices and Riparian Restoration

Creator:

Mitchell, Scott R.

Abstract:

Animal pollination is critical to plant reproduction in agricultural and wildland ecosystems. Much of the production of seeds and fruits in natural areas, which underlie many food webs, depends on pollination services by insects. The taxon responsible for delivering the bulk of these services in most temperate systems is bees....

Effect of livestock grazing on native bees in a Pacific Northwest bunchgrass prairie

Creator:

Kimoto, Chiho

Abstract:

Native bees play an important role as pollinators of natural vegetation and agricultural crops. Yet many pollinators, including some native bees, are declining in numbers. Some of the potential causes of these declines are habitat destruction and degradation by various human land uses, including urban development and sprawl, construction of...
