• Pollination reservoirs for wild bee habitat enhancement in cropping systems: a review (2017, background): “(6) Select a mixture of plants that will satisfy long-term goals (Vaughan et al. 2007), but plan for the possibility that replanting may be necessary (Carvell et al. 2007).”
• Will agri‐environment schemes deliver substantial biodiversity gain, and if not why not? (2006, methodology): “make extensive use of the legume-based ‘pollen and nectar flower mix’ as prescribed under an English AES but this type of resource is short-lived and alternatives are needed ( Carvell et al . 2007 ).”
• Protecting an ecosystem service: approaches to understanding and mitigating threats to wild insect pollinators (2016, background): “The value of 1038 flower-rich habitats is typically measured through assessment of pollinator abundance and 1039 species richness relative to other habitats (Carvell et al., 2007), and is likely influenced by the 1040 composition and complexity of the landscape (Scheper et al.”
• Pollinator-friendly management does not increase the diversity of farmland bees and wasps (2015, background): “The loss of meadows and leys rich in Fabaceae has been particularly associated with bumblebee declines (Carvell et al., 2006; Williams and Osborne, 2009), and many species that have declined substantially have likewise been shown to collect a larger proportion of their pollen from Fabaceae (Goulson…”
• Weed-insect pollinator networks as bio-indicators of ecological sustainability in agriculture. A review (2016, background): “The use of native weeds within or around intensely farmed landscapes helps to safeguard pollinator biodiversity, particularly the specialized pollinators linked to specific weeds (Carvell et al. 2007).”
• Attractiveness of wildflower mixtures for wild bees and hoverflies depends on some key plant species (2018, background): “In addition to providing refuges for endangered farmland birds and mammals, a major target is to enhance the supply of pollen and nectar sources for pollinators (Carvell et al., 2007).”
• At what spatial scale do high-quality habitats enhance the diversity of forbs and pollinators in intensively farmed landscapes? (2007, result): “Significantly more species and individuals of bees and hover flies were observed in the experimentally established flowerrich patches, which is in agreement with previous findings (Sutherland, Sullivan & Poppy 2001; Pywell et al. 2005; Carvell et al. 2007 ).”
• Agroecosystem management and biotic interactions: a review (2011, background): “In a recent study, Carvell et al. (2007) compared the efficacy of various field margins for enhancing the diversity and abundance of bumblebees.”
