How urbanization is driving pollinator diversity and pollination–A systematic review
Urban areas are growing worldwide and alter landscapes in a persistent fashion, thereby
affecting biodiversity and ecosystem services such as pollination in a little understood way …

Bee declines driven by combined stress from parasites, pesticides, and lack of flowers
BACKGROUND The species richness of wild bees and other pollinators has declined over
the past 50 years, with some species undergoing major declines and a few going extinct …

The biological deserts fallacy: cities in their landscapes contribute more than we think to regional biodiversity
Cities are both embedded within and ecologically linked to their surrounding landscapes.

Forests are critically important to global pollinator diversity and enhance pollination in adjacent crops
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 …

Widespread contamination of wildflower and bee-collected pollen with complex mixtures of neonicotinoids and fungicides commonly applied to crops
There is considerable and ongoing debate as to the harm inflicted on bees by exposure to
agricultural pesticides. In part, the lack of consensus reflects a shortage of information on …
