• Pollination reservoirs for wild bee habitat enhancement in cropping systems: a review (2017, background): “Authors of reviews and policy papers of broader scope have come to similar conclusions, and make additional policy and research recommendations (see Dicks et al. 2013; Garibaldi et al. 2014; Gill et al. 2016).”
• Pollen nutrients better explain bumblebee colony development than pollen diversity (2017, background): “…2006; Goulson et al., 2015), one of the main actions in many recent bee conservation strategies is promoting a high diversity of resources via agro-environmental schemes (Dicks et al., 2013) but with only low consideration for the floral resource quality (Dicks et al., 2015; Vaudo et al., 2015).”
• Why we love bees and hate wasps (2018, background): “Pollination is a ‘headline’ ecosystem service that has enjoyed a long history of research interest and financial investment into understanding the ecological value of bees as pollinators (Dicks et al., 2013; Vanbergen & Initiative, 2013; Hanley et al., 2015); at least 1500 crop types depend on polli”
• Pollinator-friendly management does not increase the diversity of farmland bees and wasps (2015, background): “In a recent survey of insect pollination scientists and conservation practitioners, the top research priority identified was to understand how important the diversity of pollinator species was to the resilience and reliability of the pollination service (Dicks et al., 2013).”
• Pollinator monitoring more than pays for itself (2020, background): “Research questions were selected from academic literature and policy reports reviewing the key knowledge gaps in pollinator research (Dicks et al., 2013; Vanbergen et al., 2012) Question 8 was posed to all four groups (Table 2).”
