Dodge, Jessie M., author, Davis, Thomas S., advisor, Galbraith, Sara M., committee member, Paschke, Mark, committee member, Stewart, Jane E., committee memberColorado State University. Libraries2024

… little is known about their effects on native solitary bee fitness. This is an important knowledge gap, as most bees in the western US are solitary and are crucial for pollination in forested ecosystems. Therefore, I test how wildfire and forest management treatments affect cavity-nesting …

Phenological responses of British orchids and their pollinators to climate change: an assessment using herbarium and museum collections

Robbirt, Karen MaryUniversity of East Anglia2012

… cues, such as temperature, but studies have been hindered by lack of long-term data. This research validates natural history collections as a source of long-term phenological data and, using these data, investigates the phenological responses to temperature of flowering in British orchids and …

Mechanisms involved in eusocial evolution in bees

Fischman, BrielleUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2014

… the mechanisms involved in transitions from solitary to group living can shed light on the evolutionary processes through which sociality arises. Bees are a valuable group for studying social evolution because the common ancestor of all bees was solitary and the most extreme form of group …
