Pesticides and soil invertebrates: A hazard assessment
Agricultural pesticide use and its associated environmental harms is widespread throughout
much of the world. Efforts to mitigate this harm have largely been focused on reducing …

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 …

From research to action: enhancing crop yield through wild pollinators
Recent evidence highlights the value of wild‐insect species richness and abundance for
crop pollination worldwide. Yet, deliberate physical importation of single species (eg …

Reduced species richness of native bees in field margins associated with neonicotinoid concentrations in non-target soils
Native bees are in decline as many species are sensitive to habitat loss, climate change,
and non-target exposure to synthetic pesticides. Recent laboratory and semi-field …

Response diversity to land use occurs but does not consistently stabilise ecosystem services provided by native pollinators
More diverse biological communities may provide ecosystem services that are less variable
over space or time. However, the mechanisms underlying this relationship are rarely …
