Relationships between the density and diversity of floral resources and flower visitor activity in a temperate grassland community (2006, background): “…between the richness and abundance of floral resources and pollinator diversity and activity have been found at the landscape level ( Steffan-Dewenter & Tscharntke, 1999; Steffan-Dewenter et al. , 2002; Klein et al. , 2003a ,b; Potts et al. , 2003 , 2004; Westphal et al. , 2003; Ricketts, 2004 ).”
Extinction order and altered community structure rapidly disrupt ecosystem functioning. (2005, background): “Foraging bees pollinate an estimated 60–70% of flowering plant species (Axelrod 1960) and enhance crop production by partially or fully replacing services provided by managed bee pollinators (Kremen et al. 2002; Klein et al. 2003; Kremen et al. 2004; Ricketts 2004).”
Agriculture and biodiversity conservation: opportunity knocks (2008, background): “For example, studies on coffee agroforestry systems have shown that pollinator diversity on farms is, at least in part, related to proximity to remnant forest patches, and coffee plants relatively close to remnant forest also have higher pollination rates (Klein et al. 2003b, a; De Marco & Coelho 20”
Stingless bees in applied pollination: practice and perspectives (2006, background): “increases abundance and diversity of flowervisiting insects, and that these crops have a higher yield than crops growing away from natural vegetation (Wille and Orozco, 1983; Venturieri et al., 1993; Heard and Exley, 1994; Kremen et al., 2002; Klein et al., 2003a, b; Ricketts, 2004; Ricketts et al.,”
The utility of crop genetic diversity in maintaining ecosystem services (2008, background): “It is argued that the loss of biodiversity in agroecosystems resulting from agricultural intensification and habitat loss negatively affects the maintenance of pollination systems and causes the loss of pollinators world-wide (Kearns et al., 1998; Kremen and Ricketts, 2000; Kremen et al., 2002; Rich”
Harvestmen in an Atlantic forest fragmented landscape: Evaluating assemblage response to habitat quality and quantity (2007, background): “Among arthropods themselves, there is a clear imbalance in scientific knowledge, with most studies about the effects of tropical forest disturbances or fragmentation focusing on certain groups such as bees (Powell and Powell, 1987; Murren, 2002; Tonhasca et al., 2002; Ricketts, 2004; Bodin et al.,”
Biodiversity conservation and agricultural sustainability: towards a new paradigm of ‘ecoagriculture’ landscapes (2008, background): “Ricketts (2004) investigated the role of tropical forest remnants as sources of pollinators for surrounding coffee crops in Costa Rica, observing bee activity and pollen deposition rates at coffee flowers, including 10 species of native bees and the introduced honeybee, Apis mellifera.”
Spatial scale of observation affects α, β and γ diversity of cavity‐nesting bees and wasps across a tropical land‐use gradient (2006, background): “For example, Klein et al. (2003) found a decrease in the number of social bee species in coffee agroforests with increasing forest distance, and Ricketts (2004) found that higher bee diversity at close proximity to forest led to improved pollination and fruit quality of coffee in Costa Rica.”
Plant-pollinator biodiversity and pollination services in a complex mediterranean landscape (2006, background): “Agricultural crops often depend, at least in part, on unmanaged or ‘wild’ pollinator populations from adjacent semi-natural habitats for their productivity (Kevan, 1977, 2001; Klein et al., 2003; Kremen et al., 2002, 2004; Ricketts, 2004; Ricketts et al., 2004).”
Functional group diversity of bee pollinators increases crop yield (2008, background): “2007), but a worldwide decline in the number of managed colonies of the European honeybee has increased reliance on diverse communities of wild bees for supplying crop pollination services (Klein et al. 2003b, 2007; Kremen et al. 2004; Ricketts 2004; Shuler et al. 2005).”
The Economic Value of the Pollination Service, a Review Across Scales (2009, background): “The one crop for which pollination has, however, been studied in detail is coffee (Ricketts 2004).”
Effects of prescribed fire and fire surrogates on floral visiting insects of the blue ridge province in North Carolina (2007, background): “…United States bUSDA Forest Service, Department of Forest Resources, 233 Lehotsky Hall, Clemson University, Clemson, SC 29634, United States A R T I C L E I N F O Article history: Received 1 February 2006 Received in revised form 21 July 2006 Accepted 31 August 2006 Available online 1 November…”
The diversity and conservation of plant reproductive and dispersal functional traits in human‐dominated tropical landscapes (2006, background): “2003; Ricketts 2004).”
Pollination and other ecosystem services produced by mobile organisms: a conceptual framework for the effects of land-use change. (2007, neutral): “…spatial and temporal distribution of ﬂoral resources inﬂuence pollinator community composition: for example, in a 50 year chrono-sequence of Mediterranean pine–shrub community regenerating following ﬁre, bee community composition closely tracked ﬂoral composition and rewards (Potts et al. 2003b).”
