Although the importance of natural habitats to pollinator diversity is widely recognized, the
value of forests to pollinating insects has been largely overlooked in many parts of the world …

Insects play a key role in the regulation and dynamics of many ecosystem services (ES).
However, this role is often assumed, with limited or no experimental quantification of its real …

Pollinating species are in decline globally, with land use an important driver. However, most
of the evidence on which these claims are made is patchy, based on studies with low …

Land use and related pressures have reduced local terrestrial biodiversity, but it is unclear
how the magnitude of change relates to the recently proposed planetary boundary (“safe …

Global biodiversity is undergoing rapid declines, driven in large part by changes to land use
and climate. Global models help us to understand the consequences of environmental …

Wild and managed bees are well documented as effective pollinators of global crops of
economic importance. However, the contributions by pollinators other than bees have been …

Biodiversity loss can affect the viability of ecosystems by decreasing the ability of
communities to respond to environmental change and disturbances. Agricultural …

Many bee species are declining globally, but to detect trends and monitor bee assemblages,
robust sampling methods are required. Numerous sampling methods are used, but a critical …

Drastic biodiversity declines have raised concerns about the deterioration of ecosystem
functions and have motivated much recent research on the relationship between species …

In focusing on how organisms' generalizable functional properties (traits) interact
mechanistically with environments across spatial scales and levels of biological …
