The role of resources and risks in regulating wild bee populations. (2011, background): “While maintenance of bee abundance assures the continuation of pollination services, bee diversity can improve reproduction in individual crop (41, 47, 119) and wild plant species (37, 105).”
Nearby rainforest promotes coffee pollination by increasing spatio-temporal stability in bee species richness (2009, background): “Changes in pollinator diversity caused by changes in the availability of pollinator habitat and resources are described to affect coffee pollination (Klein et al., 2003; Klein et al., 2008; Vergara and Badano, 2008).”
Pollination reservoirs for wild bee habitat enhancement in cropping systems: a review (2017, background): “Wild bee richness was linked to higher production in sunflower (Greenleaf and Kremen 2006b), coffee (Klein, Steffan-Dewenter, and Tscharntke 2003; Vergara and Badano 2009), lowbush blueberry (Bushmann and Drummond 2015) and a multitude of other crops (Garibaldi et al. 2013).”
Ecosystem services by birds and bees to coffee in a changing climate: A review of coffee berry borer control and pollination (2019, background): “Pollinator diversity has also been shown to affect fruit set and yield in coffee (Klein et al., 2003a, 2003b; Vergara and Badano, 2009), although studies are fewer than those for visitation rate or bee abundance.”
Pollination by wild bees yields larger strawberries than pollination by honey bees (2019, background): “Species- rich pollinator communities have been associated with enhanced fruit and seed yields in agricultural settings (Brittain, Williams, Kremen, & Klein, 2013; Klein, Steffan- Dewenter, & Tscharntke, 2003; Mallinger & Gratton, 2015; Vergara & Badano, 2009).”
