Effects of fragmentation on pollinator assemblage, pollen limitation and seed production of Mediterranean myrtle (Myrtus communis) (2009, background): “Pollinators are also vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, and the pollinator assemblage may be shifted because different pollinator species may respond differently to landscape changes (Steffan-Dewenter et al., 2002; Aizen and Feinsinger, 2003; Ashworth et al., 2004).”
Genetic consequences of habitat fragmentation in plant populations: susceptible signals in plant traits and methodological approaches (2008, background): “…among fragments will depend on vector distribution, abundance, composition, and behaviour (Nason et al. 1997), attributes of pollinators and seed dispersers that are usually affected by habitat fragmentation (Didham et al. 1996; Graham 2001; Aizen & Feinsinger 2003; Griscom et al. 2007).”
Relationships between wild bees, hoverflies and pollination success in apple orchards with different landscape contexts (2016, background): “…intensification (Kearns et al., 1998; Steffan-Dewenter et al., 2005; Fitzpatrick et al., 2006; Memmott et al., 2007) and landscape fragmentation (Aizen & Feinsinger, 2003; Diekötter & Crist, 2013), which leads to less effective pollination and reduces agricultural production (Floyd, 1992;…”
Economic Evaluation of Pollination Services Comparing Coffee Landscapes in Ecuador and Indonesia (2006, background): “Many bee species depend on natural habitats, such as forest fragments (Ghazoul et al. 1998, Cunningham 2000, Aizen and Feinsinger 2003); thus, it has been shown that coffee fruit set increases when natural rainforest patches are adjacent to coffee systems (Klein et al. 2003, De Marco and Coelho…”
A meta-analysis of bees' responses to anthropogenic disturbance. (2009, background): “Until recently there had been little research on how bees are affected by habitat loss, with previous reviews finding fewer than 10 such studies (Cane 2001, Aizen and Feinsinger 2003).”
Factors affecting bee communities in forest openings and adjacent mature forest (2017, background): “…that result in the loss, fragmentation, or degradation of pollinator habitats have been implicated as a major contributing factor to these declines (Aizen and Feinsinger, 2003; Goulson et al., 2008; Potts et al., 2010); however, not all disturbances are detrimental for bees since many species are…”
Why do pollination generalist and specialist plant species show similar reproductive susceptibility to habitat fragmentation? (2004, background): “…view, however, the extent to which changes in pollinator assemblages translate into lower fruit and seed set, and thus their susceptibility to habitat fragmentation, will be related to their dependence on the pollination mutualism (e.g. Bond 1994; Murcia 1996; Aizen & Feinsinger 2002; Aizen et al .”
Conservation and restoration of plant–animal mutualisms on oceanic islands (2010, background): “In fragmented mainland systems, plant–pollinator interactions are disrupted by declines in pollinator richness, abundance and composition (see Feinsinger and Aizen, 2003, and references within); both are likely to act in similar or amplified ways in insular settings, partly due to the lower…”
Low S‐allele numbers limit mate availability, reduce seed set and skew fitness in small populations of a self‐incompatible plant (2010, background): “…is more likely that the lower pollen load observed in this population is because of factors such as alteration of site-specific habitat variables (Aizen & Feinsinger 2003), and ⁄or changes in the intervening landscape matrix following habitat fragmentation (Lennartsson 2002) or may simply…”
Invasive mutualisms and the structure of plant–pollinator interactions in the temperate forests of north‐west Patagonia, Argentina (2006, background): “This agrees with the results of Aizen & Feinsinger (2003), who found that the relative abundance of B. ruderatus gradually increased along a disturbance gradient.”
Generalist foraging of pollinators: diet expansion at high density (2008, background): “…Society, Journal of Ecology , 96 , 1002–1010 Studies conducted on anthropogenic disturbance of pollination systems indicate that habitat fragmentation leads to a reduction in both diversity and abundance of the pollinating fauna (Rathcke & Jules 1993; Murcia 1996; Aizen & Feinsinger 2003).”
