Semi-natural habitats are integral to most agricultural areas and have the potential to
support ecosystem services, especially biological control and pollination by supplying …

Changes in climate and land use are major threats to pollinating insects, an essential
functional group. Here, we unravel the largely unknown interactive effects of both threats on …

Industrial agriculture (IA) has been recognized among the main drivers of biodiversity loss,
climate change, and native pollinator decline. Here we summarize the known negative …

Edge effects often exacerbate the negative effects of habitat loss on biodiversity. In forested
ecosystems, however, many pollinators actually prefer open sunny conditions created by …

The cascading effects of biodiversity decline on human well-being present a pressing
challenge for sustainable development. Conservation efforts often prioritize safeguarding …

In order to make agriculture more sustainable it is important to enhance the natural
processes supporting crop production, including pollination and pest control. The distance …

One central challenge for humanity is to mitigate and adapt to an ongoing climate and
biodiversity crisis while providing resources to a growing human population. Ecological …

Despite widespread concerns about the anthropogenic drivers of global pollinator declines,
little information is available about the impacts of land management practices on wild bees …

Context Humans structure landscapes for the production of food, fibre and fuel, commonly
resulting in declines of non-provisioning ecosystem services (ESs). Heterogeneous …

Pollinator communities are more abundant and diverse in agricultural matrices with more
natural habitat, although the reasons for these correlations remain unclear. It is possible that …
