Thermal biology of bee pollinators from montane Mediterranean habitats
A study was undertaken to assess the diversity in thermal biology of the bee assemblage that pollinates plants in a Mediterranean montane area of southeastern Spain, evaluate its taxonomic and phylogenetic underpinnings, and elucidate whether there existed seasonal, daily, between-habitat or floral...

| Resumo: | A study was undertaken to assess the diversity in thermal biology of the bee assemblage that pollinates plants in a Mediterranean montane area of southeastern Spain, evaluate its taxonomic and phylogenetic underpinnings, and elucidate whether there existed seasonal, daily, between-habitat or floral visitation correlates of bee thermal biology which could contribute to partition ecological gradients among plant and bee species. Thermal biology parameters were obtained in the laboratory and the field on individual bees of a diverse sample comprising most bee pollinators of the regional plant community. Species-specific thermal biology parameters were combined with quantitative field data on bee pollinators and flower visitation for the regional community of entomophilous plants (Herrera 2023). |
