Weed-insect pollinator networks as bio-indicators of ecological sustainability in agriculture. A review (2016, background): “with pollinators are more fragile (Pontin et al. 2006).”
Drought stress alters floral volatiles and reduces floral rewards, pollinator activity, and seed set in a global plant (2020, background): “…incorporated into conservation plantings for beneficial insects including pollinators as it provides both nectar and pollen resources (Carreck and Williams 2002, Pontin et al. 2006, Razze et al. 2016, Mallinger et al. 2019), and it is also widely used as a honey crop (Alekseyeva and Bureyko 2000).”
The effect of semi-natural habitats on aphids and their natural enemies across spatial and temporal scales (2014, background): “Indeed, both hedges and grasslands are nectar providers for hoverflies and favour egg laying by females (Cowgill et al., 1993; Hickman, Lövei and Wratten, 1995; Hickman and Wratten, 1996; Pontin et al., 2012).”
At what spatial scale do high-quality habitats enhance the diversity of forbs and pollinators in intensively farmed landscapes? (2007, background): “Contrary to hover flies, which have a ubiquitous foraging behaviour (Pontin et al. 2006), bees are known to concentrate at and return to resource-rich patches on successive foraging trips (Osborne et al.”

Agroecosystem management and biotic interactions: a review (2011, background): “…al. 1995; Hickman and Wratten 1996; Petanidou 2003; Pontin et al. 2006) and flower strips composed of several species (Sutherland et al. 2001; Scarratt et al. 2004; Rebek et al. 2005; Luka et al. 2006; Pontin et al. 2006) and their effects on flower-dependent specialist predators and parasitoids.”
Attractiveness of common insectary and harvestable floral resources to beneficial insects (2011, background): “One approach involves screening candidate plants for traits that are appropriate for the targeted natural enemies and the crop system (Baggen and Gurr, 1998; Pontin et al., 2006).”
Plant biodiversity enhances bees and other insect pollinators in agroecosystems. A review (2012, unknown): “There are now available many “ grass and wildflower ” and “ nectar and pollen ” seed mixtures (which contain some plants considered weed species) that can be planted around agricultural plots and which can attract significant numbers of bees and hoverflies (Pontin et al. 2006).”
