       The Annals of Botany is publishing a special issue featuring 22 
articles on
the Ecology and Evolution of Plant-Pollinator Interactions.  Several of 
the
articles have a strong conservation focus, especially those by:

Lonsdorf, E., Kremen, C., Ricketts, T., Winfree, R., Williams, N. and 
Greenleaf,
S.
   "Modelling pollination services across agricultural landscapes"

Aizen, M. A., Garibaldi, L. A., Cunningham, S. A. and Klein, A. M.
     "How much does agriculture depend on pollinators? Lessons from 
long-term
trends in crop production"

Mitchell, R. J., Flanagan, R. J., Brown, B. J., Waser, N. M. and 
Karron, J. D.
   "New frontiers in competition for pollination"


In addition, many of the articles focus on pollination by bumble bees,
including:

Karron, J. D., Holmquist, K. G., Flanagan, R. J. and Mitchell, R. J.
     "Pollinator visitation patterns strongly influence among-flower 
variation in
selfing rate"

Ohashi, K. and Thomson, J. D.
     "Trapline foraging by pollinators: its ontogeny, economics and 
possible
consequences for plants


       We've attached a PDF with a copy of the Cover Page, the Table of 
Contents,
and the content summaries.

       The special issue will be posted online by the end of May.
