Quantifying the impacts of bioenergy crops on pollinating insect abundance and diversity: a field‐scale evaluation reveals taxon‐specific responses (2013, background): “Positive impacts of mass flowering oilseed rape on solitary bees have been less well documented (Jauker et al. 2012; Le F eon et al. in press) but are confirmed here.”
Massively Introduced Managed Species and Their Consequences for Plant–Pollinator Interactions (2017, background): “For example, we may observe transient impact of MFC on pollinator populations and wild plant pollination during the flowering that does not necessarily remain after the flowering season (Hanley et al., 2011; Jauker et al., 2012).”
Cavity-nest boxes for solitary bees: a century of design and research (2017, background): “Objective 3: to augment bee abundance for pollination services A goal of many studies is to enhance the number of bees for pollination services of agricultural crops (Bohart 1972; Bosch and Kemp 2002; Jauker et al. 2012; Sedivy and Dorn 2014).”
