Protecting an ecosystem service: approaches to understanding and mitigating threats to wild insect pollinators (2016, background): “…from setting-aside land that could 504 otherwise be cultivated (‘opportunity cost’), and estimated implementation costs such as the 505 purchase of flowering plant-seed or costs of additional management (see sections 4.5 & 4.6; 506 Batary et al., 2011; Garibaldi et al., 2014; Rundlöf et al., 2013).”
Non-bee insects are important contributors to global crop pollination (2015, unknown): “With the growing economic importance of crops that require animal-mediated pollination (74), wild insect pollinators are increasingly being recognized for their role in improving and stabilizing crop-pollination services (75).”
Larger patches of diverse floral resources increase insect pollinator density, diversity, and their pollination of native wildflowers (2014, background): “…most sensitive to prey density or host qualty for oviposition (Sutherland, Sullivan, & Poppy 2001). hus, for hoverflies and large-bodied bees, it is important o better understand how habitat management at both the ocal and landscape scales can help support their populations Garibaldi et al. 2014).”
