	abstract = {Author states that on page 50 and in table 2, prior to management of alfalfa leaf-cutting bees and alkali bees for US alfalfa seed production (beginning in the 1960{\textquoteright}s), growing was spread across entire northern tier of states. Acreage was vast (1.4 million acres) and yields were generally poor (135 lbs/acre). With pollination taken over using abundant managed M. rotundata and Nomia melanderi, production shifted to xeric regions of the Pacific Northwest (esp. Oregon, Washington and Idaho) and California. Overall production acreage shrank 6x to 250,000 acres because yields were improved to as much as 1,800 lbs per acre (my note...more realistically, the average grower in average year is getting more like 1100 pounds of clean seed per acre, but still, that is a 8x increase).},

	abstract = {Urbanization within the Tucson basin of Arizona during the past 50+ years has fragmented the original desert scrub into patches of different sizes and ages. These remnant patches, like the surrounding desert, are dominated by Larrea tridentata (creosote bush), a long-lived, evergreen shrub whose flowers are visited by more than 120 native bee species across its range. Twenty-one of these bee species restrict their pollen foraging to L. tridentata. To evaluate the response of this native bee fauna to fragmentation, we compared species incidence and abundance patterns for the bee guild visiting Larrea at 59 habitat fragments of known size (0.002-5 ha) and age (up to 70 years), and in adjacent desert. The 62 bee species caught during this study responded to fragmentation heterogeneously and not in direct relation to their abundance or incidence in undisturbed desert. Only a few species found in continuous desert outside the city were entirely absent from urban fragments. Species of ground-nesting Larrea specialists were under-represented in smaller fragments and less abundant in the smaller and older fragments. In contrast, cavity-nesting bees (including one Larrea specialist) were over-represented in the habitat fragments, probably due to enhanced nesting opportunities available in the urban matrix. Small-bodied bee species were no more likely than larger-bodied species to be absent from the smaller fragments. The introduced European honeybee, Apis mellifera, was a minor faunal element at >90\% of the fragments and exerted little if any influence on the response patterns of native bee species to fragmentation. Overall, native bee response to urban habitat fragmentation was best predicted by ecological traits associated with nesting and dietary breadth. The consequences for the floral host and its pollination interactions are not intuitive but await investigation.},
