Effects of grazing intensity on pollinator abundance and diversity, and on pollination services (2016, background): “However, grazing can also influence the amount of nesting resources by creating areas of bare soil, which constitute desired nesting sites for ground-dwelling wild pollinators (Petanidou & Ellis, 1993; Potts et al., 2003; Vulliamy et al., 2006; Murray et al., 2012), or by altering the availability o”
Environmental factors affecting bee diversity in urban and remote grassland plots in Boulder, Colorado (2009, background): “For example, Vulliamy et al. (2006) found that in Mediterranean habitats, intensive grazing increased bee abundance by increasing nesting sites and maintaining a diverse flora.”
Assessing bee species richness in two Mediterranean communities: importance of habitat type and sampling techniques (2011, background): “, Vulliamy et al. 2006). This expectation contrasts with the pattern in most other European agricultural landscapes: Westphal et al. (2008) found that intensively managed, annual agricultural fields contained lower bee species richness than semi-natural grasslands across Europe.”
Short-term responses of native bees to livestock and implications for managing ecosystem services in grasslands (2012, background): “…studies of livestock grazing and native bees have found significant effects, some negative (e.g., Kruess and Tscharntke 2002, Hatfield and LeBuhn 2007, Sjödin 2007, Xie et al. 2008, Kearns and Oliveras 2009) and some positive (e.g., Carvell 2002, Vulliamy et al. 2006, Yoshihara et al. 2008).”
Weed-insect pollinator networks as bio-indicators of ecological sustainability in agriculture. A review (2016, background): “Yet, these areas are essential habitats for insect pollinators providing both appropriate foraging and nesting resources (Steffan-Dewenter and Tscharntke 2001; Potts et al. 2003; Vulliamy et al. 2006; Öckinger and Smith 2007; Goulson 2010; Rollin et al. 2013; Requier et al. 2014).”
Pollination and other ecosystem services produced by mobile organisms: a conceptual framework for the effects of land-use change. (2007, unknown): “The response of bee individuals, populations and communities to land-use change is largely driven by the spatial and temporal distribution of ﬂoral, nesting and over-wintering”
Intensification of agriculture, landscape composition and wild bee communities: a large scale study in four European countries. (2010, background): “Studies on grazing impacts on bee communities sometimes consider the whole bee community (Sjödin, 2007; Sjödin et al., 2008; Vulliamy et al., 2006) but also some more restricted groups among bees like bumblebees (Carvell, 2002) or trap nesting bees (Kruess and Tscharntke, 2002; Steffan-Dewenter…”
The role of resources and risks in regulating wild bee populations. (2011, background): “Thus, the evidence on grazing to date points mainly to a fairly simple effect on floral resources, but one study found that bare ground (a surrogate for ground-nesting bee nesting substrate) provided information beyond that provided by flower response alone (123).”
Effects of livestock grazing on pollination on a steppe in eastern Mongolia (2008, result): “However, same tendency was seen in flower number (more flowers in the heavily grazed plot), the opposite to results seen in Mediterranean shrublands (Vulliamy et al., 2006).”
