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 …

Hedgerows as ecosystems: service delivery, management, and restoration
Hedge density, structure, and function vary with primary production and slope gradient and
are subject to other diverse factors. Hedgerows are emerging ecosystems with both above …

Hedgerow restoration promotes pollinator populations and exports native bees to adjacent fields
LA Morandin, C Kremen - Ecological Applications, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
In intensive agricultural landscapes, restoration within farms could enhance biodiversity and
ecosystem services such as pollination by native pollinators. Although governments and …

Contamination of wild plants near neonicotinoid seed-treated crops, and implications for non-target insects
Neonicotinoid insecticides are commonly-used as seed treatments on flowering crops such
as oilseed rape. Their persistence and solubility in water increase the chances of …

A critical analysis of the potential for EU Common Agricultural Policy measures to support wild pollinators on farmland
Agricultural intensification and associated loss of high‐quality habitats are key drivers of
insect pollinator declines. With the aim of decreasing the environmental impact of …

Native pollinators in anthropogenic habitats
Animals pollinate 87% of the world's flowering plant species. Therefore, how pollinators
respond to human-induced land-use change has important implications for plants and the …

Exposure of native bees foraging in an agricultural landscape to current-use pesticides
The awareness of insects as pollinators and indicators of environmental quality has grown in
recent years, partially in response to declines in honey bee (Apis mellifera) populations …

The importance of forests in bumble bee biology and conservation
Declines of many bumble bee species have raised concerns because of their importance as
pollinators and potential harbingers of declines among other insect taxa. At present, bumble …

The benefits of hedgerows for pollinators and natural enemies depends on hedge quality and landscape context
Ecological intensification advocates the harnessing of regulating and supporting ecosystem
services to promote more sustainable food production, and this relies on effective …

Wild pollination services to California almond rely on semi‐natural habitat
Global declines in honeybees have led to concerns about negative impacts on food
production because of low levels of pollination. This is exemplified in California where the …
