“…Second, it may impact individual phenologies of interacting species, thereby impeding their interaction, because of a temporal mismatch such as between flowering and pollinator activity (Petanidou and Ellis, 1996;Harrison, 2000;Kevan, 2001;Wall et al, 2003;Memmott et al, 2007;Schweiger et al, 2008;Hegland et al, 2009;Schweiger et al, 2010). In general, with global warming the flowering periods seem to start earlier and last longer (Roy and Sparks, 2000;Menzel et al, 2006).…”

SummaryWorldwide, there is a well-documented crisis for bees and other pollinators which represent a fundamental biotic capital for wild life conservation, ecosystem function, and crop production. Among all pollinators of the world, bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) constitute the major group in species number and importance, followed by hover flies (Diptera: Syrphidae). The Aegean constitutes one of the world's hotspots for wild bee and other pollinator diversity including flies (mainly hover flies and bee flies), beetles, and butterflies. Despite this advantage, our present knowledge on Greek pollinators is poor, due to a lack of focused and systematic research, absence of relevant taxonomic keys, and a general lack of taxonomic experts in the country. As a result, assessments of pollinator loss cannot be carried out and the causes for the potential pollinator loss in the country remain unknown. Consequently, the desperately needed National Red Data list for pollinators cannot be compiled. This new research (2012)(2013)(2014)(2015) aims to contribute to the knowledge of the pollinator diversity in Greece, the threats pollinators face, as well as the impacts these threats may have on pollination services. The research is conducted in the Aegean archipelago on >20 islands and several mainland sites in Greece and Turkey. Prime goals are: i. the assessment of bee and hover fly diversity (species, genetic);ii. their pollination services; and iii. the effects of climate change, grazing, intensive bee-keeping, fires, electromagnetic radiation on bee diversity and ecology, as well as on plant-pollinator networks. At the same time, this research contributes to the taxonomic capital in Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean, focusing on the creation of the first identification keys for pollinators, the training of new scientists, as well as the enrichment and further development of the Melissotheque of the Aegean, a permanent reference collection of insect pollinators established at the

Increases in mean temperature affect the diversity and abundance of wild bees in agricultural ecosystems. Pollinator community composition is expected to change along an elevational gradient due to differences in the daily ambient temperature. This study investigated the diversity and abundance of wild bees in an agricultural area along an elevational gradient in Central Java, Indonesia. Wild bees were collected using a sweep net in 40 green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) cultivation sampling locations at seven different elevations (8, 108, 224, 424, 644, 893, and 1017 m above sea level). Species diversity was determined using the Shannon-Wiener diversity index. We identified 932 individuals from 8 species of wild bee belonging to 3 families. The family Apidae was predominant, with 6 species, while only 1 species was found from each of Megachilidae and Halictidae. Across the study sites, diversity increased with increasing elevation (( ) = 1.4, ( ) = 0.25, and ( ) = 0.78 at low elevation to ( ) = 2.04, = 0.13, and = 0.96 at high elevation), and higher numbers of species were found at middle and high elevations. Species richness and abundance increased linearly with increasing elevation, and species diversity was highest at middle elevations.

“…In the past decade, it has become clear that effective management of populations of rare plants must include understanding communitylevel processes that affect these populations (Sipes and Tepedino, 1995;Corbet, 1997;Timmerman-Erskine and Boyd, 1999;Wall et al, 2003). Interactions between plants and their pollinators are of particular importance as many endangered plants are dependent on pollinators for reproduction and maintenance of viable populations (Nabhan and Flemming, 1993;Kearns and Inouye, 1997;Kearns et al, 1998;Spira, 2001;Wall et al, 2003).…”

“…The importance of a given pollinator can vary spatially (over the geographic range of the plant) and temporally (within and between flowering seasons) due to fluctuations in abundance of pollinator or rate of visitation (Pettersson, 1991;Fishbein and Venable, 1996;Gomez and Zamora, 1999;Wall et al, 2003;Wiggam and Ferguson, 2005), which can be affected by composition of plant communities.…”
