Butterflies are not a robust bioindicator for assessing pollinator communities, but floral resources offer a promising way forward

Monitoring pollinators is crucial for the evaluation of biodiversity and potential pollination services. Yet, efficiently monitoring multiple taxa over large areas can be costly. An alternative approach is using simple species bioindicators that represent the entire pollinator community. One of the...
