genetic analysis of spatial foraging patterns and resource sharing in bumble bee pollinators.	conservation biologists, evolutionary ecologists and agricultural biologists require an improved understanding of how pollinators utilize space and share resources. using microsatellite markers, we conducted a genetic analysis of space use and resource sharing at several spatial scales among workers of two ecologically dissimilar bumble bee species (bombus terrestris and b. pascuorum) foraging in an urban landscape (london, uk). at fine scales, the relatedness of workers visiting small patches o ...	2003	12969482
