Abstract Purpose of Review Natural enemies are an important component for forest
functioning. By consuming herbivores, they can be effective top-down regulators of potential …

Humans modify ecosystems and biodiversity worldwide, with negative consequences for
ecosystem functioning. Promoting plant diversity is increasingly suggested as a mitigation …

Forests sustain 80% of terrestrial biodiversity and provide essential ecosystem services.
Biodiversity experiments have demonstrated that plant diversity correlates with both primary …

Bees are the most important group of insect pollinators, but their populations are declining.
To gain a better understanding of wild bee responses to different stressors (eg land-use …

Urban ecosystems can sustain populations of wild bees, partly because of their rich native
and exotic floral resources. A better understanding of the urban bee diet, particularly at the …

Biodiversity loss, as often found in intensively managed agricultural landscapes, correlates
with reduced ecosystem functioning, for example, pollination by insects, and with altered …

Nesting resources are key inputs for the survival and reproduction of bees. However,
relatively little work has been done on threats bees face from a nesting-biology perspective …

Insect populations are globally declining but standardized long‐term data to evaluate trends
and consequences are largely missing. One difficulty among many is the rather narrow …

Background Recent declines in bee populations, along with increasing demand for
pollination services in urban, agricultural, and natural environments, have led to strategies to …
