[HTML][HTML] Influence of cover crops at the four spheres: A review of ecosystem services, potential barriers, and future directions for North America
Cover crops have been studied for over a century, but the recognition of a complex
interaction of cover crop on the Earth's biosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and …

Integrated pest and pollinator management–expanding the concept
The objective of integrated pest and pollinator management (IPPM) is to co‐manage for pest
control and pollination goals. Departing from the well‐established concept of integrated pest …

Floral resource diversification promotes solitary bee reproduction and may offset insecticide effects–evidence from a semi‐field experiment
Pollinator declines in agricultural landscapes are driven by multiple stressors, but potential
interactions of these remain poorly studied. Using a highly replicated semi‐field study with …

Impact of biotic and abiotic stressors on managed and feral bees
Large-scale declines in bee abundance and species richness over the last decade have
sounded an alarm, given the crucial pollination services that bees provide. Population dips …

Drought stress alters floral volatiles and reduces floral rewards, pollinator activity, and seed set in a global plant
Plant–pollinator interactions are mediated by floral signals and by the quantity and quality of
floral rewards. Biotic and abiotic disturbances can influence plant reproductive success …

Historical decrease in agricultural landscape diversity is associated with shifts in bumble bee species occurrence
Agricultural intensification is a key suspect among putative drivers of recent insect declines,
but an explicit link between historical change in agricultural land cover and insect …

The potential of multi-species mixtures to diversify cover crop benefits
Cover crops provide a range of well-documented benefits to growers and the environment.
However, no single species can deliver all of these benefits, and hence planting mixtures is …

Beyond the decline of wild bees: Optimizing conservation measures and bringing together the actors
Simple Summary Wild bees represent the main group of pollinators in Europe, being
responsible for the reproduction of numerous flowering plants. However, like a non …
