Managing ecosystem services in broadacre landscapes: what are the appropriate spatial scales? (2008, background): “Studies have shown that flowering field margins can produce highly attractive forage resource for bumble bees in a relatively short period of time (Pywell et al. 2006; Carvell et al. 2007).”
Comparing the efficacy of agri‐environment schemes to enhance bumble bee abundance and diversity on arable field margins (2006, background): “Journal compilation © 2006 British Ecological Society, Journal of Applied Ecology, 44, 29‐40 conservation value for some of Britain’s rarer bumble bees, as the legume component attracted three species not commonly recorded on farmland: the BAP species B. ruderatus, confirming preliminary observation”
Pollinator-friendly management does not increase the diversity of farmland bees and wasps (2015, background): “As a result, increasing floral abundance, particularly the abundance of leguminous forage, and observing the response of foraging bumblebees has been an important part of the design and assessment of pollinator-friendly agri-environment schemes (Edwards, 2003; Pywell et al., 2006; Carvell et al., 20”
The potential of different semi-natural habitats to sustain pollinators and natural enemies in European agricultural landscapes (2019, background): “Rather, our findings suggest that for bees, habitat quality in terms of key resource availability is particularly important (Pywell et al., 2006; Wood et al., 2017).”
Pollination reservoirs for wild bee habitat enhancement in cropping systems: a review (2017, background): “…2011; Jönsson et al. 2015; Korpela et al. 2013; Morandin and Kremen 2013a; Morandin et al. 2011; Ponisio, M’Gonigle, and Kremen 2015; Pywell 2005; Pywell et al. 2011, 2006; Williams et al. 2015; Wood et al. 2015a); and c) increases pollination services provisioned by wild bees in adjacent crop…”
Effects of ecological compensation meadows on arthropod diversity in adjacent intensively managed grassland (2010, background): “The presence of target species, effective prescriptions, and the size and spatial arrangement of areas under agri-environment schemes are crucial to produce benefits to biodiversity (Ovenden et al., 1998; Vickery et al., 2004; Kleijn et al., 2006; Pywell et al., 2006).”
Response and effect traits of arable weeds in agro‐ecosystems: a review of current knowledge (2017, background): “The presence and the amount of nectar and pollen provided by the flowers are the rewards searched by arthropods on the flowers, and they thus influence the frequency of visits and abundance of foraging arthropods (Carvell et al., 2006; Pywell et al., 2006).”
Management to enhance pollen and nectar resources for bumblebees and butterflies within intensively farmed landscapes (2011, methodology): “On each visit the abundance and species richness of butterflies and foraging bumblebees was also recorded from a 25 9 6 m transect walked through the centre of each sub-treatment plot (Pywell et al. 2006).”
Sown wildflower strips for insect conservation: a review (2011, background): “In general they show that areas sown with a pollen- and nectar-rich mixture attract the highest number of bumblebees and honey bees (Pywell et al., 2006; Carvell et al., 2007), but to support overall biodiversityT a b le 2 .”
