Global overview of ecosystem services provided by riparian vegetation
Fluvial riparian vegetation (RV) links fluvial and terrestrial ecosystems. It is under significant
pressure from anthropogenic activities, and, therefore, the management and restoration of …

[HTML][HTML] Global trends in the number and diversity of managed pollinator species
Cultivation of pollinator-dependent crops has expanded globally, increasing our reliance on
insect pollination. This essential ecosystem service is provided by a wide range of managed …

Global agricultural productivity is threatened by increasing pollinator dependence without a parallel increase in crop diversification
The global increase in the proportion of land cultivated with pollinator‐dependent crops
implies increased reliance on pollination services. Yet agricultural practices themselves can …

Benefits of increasing plant diversity in sustainable agroecosystems
Recent studies have revealed many potential benefits of increasing plant diversity in natural
ecosystems, as well as in agroecosystems and production forests. Plant diversity potentially …

Biogenesis and function of tRNA fragments during sperm maturation and fertilization in mammals
Several recent studies link parental environments to phenotypes in subsequent generations.
In this work, we investigate the mechanism by which paternal diet affects offspring …

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 …

Non-bee insects are important contributors to global crop pollination
Wild and managed bees are well documented as effective pollinators of global crops of
economic importance. However, the contributions by pollinators other than bees have been …
