Threats to an ecosystem service: pressures on pollinators
AJ Vanbergen… - Frontiers in Ecology …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Insect pollinators of crops and wild plants are under threat globally and their decline or loss
could have profound economic and environmental consequences. Here, we argue that …

Combined effects of global change pressures on animal-mediated pollination
Pollination is an essential process in the sexual reproduction of seed plants and a key
ecosystem service to human welfare. Animal pollinators decline as a consequence of five …

[HTML][HTML] Pollinator conservation—the difference between managing for pollination services and preserving pollinator diversity
Highlights•Only a few species of pollinators have a direct and easily recognised economic
importance and managing species for pollination services does not equal conserving wider …

Response of native insect communities to invasive plants
Invasive plants can disrupt a range of trophic interactions in native communities. As a novel
resource they can affect the performance of native insect herbivores and their natural …

Risks to pollinators and pollination from invasive alien species
Invasive alien species modify pollinator biodiversity and the services they provide that
underpin ecosystem function and human well-being. Building on the Intergovernmental …

Climate change and invasive species: double jeopardy
SA Mainka, GW Howard - Integrative Zoology, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Two of the key drivers of biodiversity loss today are climate change and invasive species.
Climate change is already having a measurable impact on species distributions …

Exotic garden plants partly substitute for native plants as resources for pollinators when native plants become seasonally scarce
Urban green spaces such as gardens often consist of native and exotic plant species, which
provide pollen and nectar for flower-visiting insects. Although some exotic plants are readily …

The impact of over 80 years of land cover changes on bee and wasp pollinator communities in England
Change in land cover is thought to be one of the key drivers of pollinator declines, and yet
there is a dearth of studies exploring the relationships between historical changes in land …

Impacts of invasive plants on resident animals across ecosystems, taxa, and feeding types: a global assessment
As drivers of global change, biological invasions have fundamental ecological
consequences. However, it remains unclear how invasive plant effects on resident animals …
