A meta-analysis of bees' responses to anthropogenic disturbance. (2009, background): “…meliponines and feral Apis use mature forest trees as nest sites, and should therefore be sensitive to forest loss, whereas other social, predominantly temperate-zone taxa, such as Bombus and some halictids, are ground-nesting and can nest in disturbed areas (Kim et al. 2006, Osborne et al. 2008).”
Pollination reservoirs for wild bee habitat enhancement in cropping systems: a review (2017, background): “…crop yield (Carvalheiro et al. 2012; Gill 2013), but floral resources (Kennedy et al. 2013; Larsson and Franzén 2007; Williams and Kremen 2007) and natural habitat area (Kim, Williams, and Kremen 2006; Ricketts et al. 2008; Klein et al. 2012) can increase the abundance and diversity of pollinators.”
Ecological and life-history traits predict bee species responses to environmental disturbances (2010, background): “As a result, nesting substrates for these species are limited through intensification whereas suitable substrate for ground-nesting species, such as in soil at field margins and in fields themselves (Mathewson, 1968; Kim et al., 2006), is available throughout agriculturally dominated landscapes.”
What do we know about the effects of landscape changes on plant–pollinator interaction networks? (2013, unknown): “…(Carre et al., 2009), pollinators ﬂoral visits behavior (Ricketts et al., 2008) and may inﬂuence plant reproductive success (Priess et al., 2007; Kim et al., 2006 Additionally, conventional agricultural management which uses large crop areas, insecticides, herbicides and exotic pollinators…”
The area requirements of an ecosystem service: crop pollination by native bee communities in California (2004, background): “…bees found nesting on sunflower farms not only decreased with distance from natural habitat, but also became more variable by an order of magnitude (Kim 2004), supporting the hypothesis that increasing patchiness of nesting resources at isolated sites contributes to increasing variability in bee…”
Nesting habitat of ground‐nesting bees: a review (2020, background): “For example, consider three common halictid taxa studied by Kim et al. (2006): Halictus tripartitus Cockerell nested in hard soils, whereas H. ligatus Say was found in highest densities at medium soil hardness, and there was no association between soil hardness and nest density in Lasioglossum…”
Relationships among ecological traits of wild bee communities along gradients of habitat amount and fragmentation (2017, background): “Below-ground nesters might have found suitable nesting sites in crop-dominated landscape as they can also nest in crop borders (Svensson et al. 2000, Kim et al. 2006).”
Evaluating nesting microhabitat for ground-nesting bees using emergence traps (2014, methodology): “With the latter method male bees would then need to be excluded from analyses as they may not represent ground-nest bees emerging from nests but may instead be resting in vegetation (Kim et al., 2006).”
Managing ecosystem services: what do we need to know about their ecology? (2005, background): “(3) The proportion of wild habitat (chaparral and oak-woodland) within 1–2 km of a farm strongly explains the magnitude and the stability of the service provided, as well as the diversity, abundance and productivity of foraging and nesting bees (Kim 2004; Kremen et al. 2004; Greenleaf 2005).”
