Undestroyed winter cover crop strips support wild bee abundance and diversity in intensive crop** systems
C Triquet, A Wezel, V Tolon, A Ferrer - Biodiversity and Conservation, 2024 - Springer
Agricultural intensification is known to be one of the main drivers of pollinator decline, in
particular because flower resources are often scarce in intensively cultivated landscapes …

Wetland cover in agricultural landscapes is positively associated with bumblebee abundance
Conversion of land for agricultural use is a leading driver of global biodiversity loss. Natural
and semi‐natural lands within agricultural landscapes are targeted for protection because …

Wild bee community recovery in restored grassland-wetland complexes of prairie North America
Agricultural intensification is a widespread driver of global pollinator decline that
subsequently threatens the associated provisioning of ecosystem services. In North …

Wild bee responses to cropland landscape complexity are temporally-variable and taxon-specific: Evidence from a highly replicated pseudo-experiment
Wild bees may benefit from the restoration of natural areas in agricultural regions. The
abundance and diversity of wild bee species responds to the amount of nesting and foraging …

Non-crop sources of beneficial arthropods vary within-season across a prairie agroecosystem
Ground-dwelling arthropods can be important generalist predators in agroecosystems, and
can use non-crop features as overwintering habitats. However, it is unclear which types of …

Woodland and floral richness boost bumble bee density in cranberry resource pulse landscapes
Context Native pollinators provide an important ecosystem service for many pollination-
dependent fruit crops, but require nesting and foraging resources in proximity to target crop …

The genetic structure of founding bumblebee populations in reconstructed prairie habitat 3 years after planting
The decline of wild bee pollinators has prompted habitat reconstruction in many regions
around the world in order to increase the floral resources available to pollinators. Relatively …

Trap** studies reveal phenology and reproductive behaviour in two solitary sweat bees (Hymenoptera: Halictidae)
A Proulx, MH Richards - The Canadian Entomologist, 2024 - cambridge.org
To reconstruct behavioural changes that underpin evolutionary transitions between solitary
and eusocial behaviour, we need detailed behavioural information about both solitary and …
