Do sown flower strips boost wild pollinator abundance and pollination services in a spring-flowering crop? A case study from UK cider apple orchards (2017, background): “2014; 520 Mallinger & Gratton 2015), and that richer pollinator communities, through greater 521 functional complementarity among pollinator taxa, provide better pollination services 522 than species-poor communities (Blitzer et al. 2016; Martins et al. 2015).”
Bees in the trees: Diverse spring fauna in temperate forest edge canopies (2021, background): “8 important common crop pollinators (Renauld et al., 2016; Blitzer et al., 2016; Grab et al., 2019), as well as bees in the subgenus Melandrena (specifically A.”
Pollinator Diversity: Distribution, Ecological Function, and Conservation (2017, background): “There are numerous examples of crops that have an increased and/or better quality yield when pollinator diversity is high—for example, coffee (Klein et al. 2003), cherries (Holzschuh et al. 2012), apples (Blitzer et al. 2016, Garratt et al. 2014a), and holly and mistletoe (Ollerton et al. 2016).”
