Pollination by wild bees yields larger strawberries than pollination by honey bees (2019, background): “…with measures of single- visit effectiveness (the number of pollen grains, fruit or seeds resulting from a single pollinator visit to a flower) as a measure of pollinator performance (Garibaldi et al., 2013; Greenleaf & Kremen, 2006; Rader et al., 2009; Winfree, Williams, Dushoff, & Kremen, 2007).”
How well do we understand landscape effects on pollinators and pollination services (2012, background): “This surplus of pollinators leads to a more efficient cross-pollination process, incurring higher seed production (Greenleaf & Kremen 2006).”
Where to put things? Spatial land management to sustain biodiversity and economic returns (2008, background): “…economic returns focus on a single species or small set of species and a single economic activity such as forestry (e.g., Montgomery et al., 1994; Haight, 1995; Hof and Bevers, 1998; Marshall et al., 2000; Calkin et al., 2002; Moilanen and Cabeza , 2002; Nalle et al., 2004; Strange et al.,…”
Pollination services for apple are dependent on diverse wild bee communities (2016, background): “honey bee foraging behavior, improving their efficacy (Greenleaf and Kremen, 2006; Brittain et al., 2013), but we did not explicitly test for this effect.”
The role of resources and risks in regulating wild bee populations. (2011, background): “While maintenance of bee abundance assures the continuation of pollination services, bee diversity can improve reproduction in individual crop (41, 47, 119) and wild plant species (37, 105).”
Weeds for bees? A review (2015, background): “…may have mutualistic effects on pollination: the behavioural interactions with wild bees may force honeybees to move on to another plant, which, in particular for crops which have male and female plants, may improve pollination and crop production (Greenleaf and Kremen 2006; Brittain et al. 2013).”
Pollination efficiency and foraging behaviour of honey bees and non‐Apis bees to sweet cherry (2019, background): “…behaviour (high visitation rate and high probability of row change), bumble bees might contribute indirectly to crop pollination through direct interactions with other pollinators, where the latter change trees or rows after such an interaction (Greenleaf & Kremen, 2006; Carvalheiro et al., 2011).”
A meta-analysis of bees' responses to anthropogenic disturbance. (2009, background): “C. Kremen (unpublished a), C. Kremen (unpublished b), and S. S. Greenleaf (unpublished ) are described elsewhere (Greenleaf and Kremen 2006, Ricketts et al. 2008).”
Impacts of Changing Climate and Climate Variability on Seed Production and Seed Industry (2013, background): “Enhancing honeybee pollination efficiency is economically important for hybrid sunflower seed production because fields are frequently underpollinated (Greenleaf and Kremen, 2006).”
Landscapes with wild bee habitats enhance pollination, fruit set and yield of sweet cherry (2012, neutral): “Almost all honey bees visiting sunflower heads moved to another flower head when they had an interaction with a wild bee (Carvalheiro et al., 2011; Greenleaf and Kremen, 2006).”
Measuring the economic value of pollination services: principles, evidence and knowledge gaps. (2015, background): “…the abundance and diversity of pollinators to their service delivery (Hoehn et al., 2008; Rader et al., 2009), however the effects of substitution and interaction between species have also only been explored in a few specific case studies (e.g. Greenleaf and Kremen, 2006; Rader et al., 2013).”
Quantifying the Contribution of Organisms to the Provision of Ecosystem Services (2009, background): “Greenleaf and Kremen (2006) found that behavioral interactions between native bees and the introduced honey bee Apis melli - 230 BioScience • March 2009 / Vol. 59 No. 3 www.biosciencemag.org fera enhanced the pollination efficiency (the number of seeds produced per visit) of the honey bee on hybrid…”
The utility of crop genetic diversity in maintaining ecosystem services (2008, background): “The presence of other native bees, collecting both pollen and nectar, has been shown to facilitate cross pollination and also alter the behavior of honeybees, ‘‘chasing’’ them into visiting more frequently across rows as they try to avoid contact with other species of bees (Greenleaf and Kremen, 200”
Long-term global trends in crop yield and production reveal no current pollination shortage but increasing pollinator dependency. (2008, neutral): “Pollinators can even enhance seed production of genetically engineered crops such as canola, soybean, and sunflower [14–16].”
Anthropogenic disturbance of tropical forests threatens pollination services to acai palm in the Amazon river delta (2018, background): “To test effects of ants on other flower visitors, we included all two- way interactions between ants and other groups, and to test species interaction effects (e.g. Greenleaf & Kremen, 2006), we included interactions between richness and visitor groups.”
Pollination services from field-scale agricultural diversification may be context-dependent (2015, background): “These interactions that increase pollen flow between rows also increase honey bee per visit efficiency, therefore have great potential to heighten seed set (Greenleaf and Kremen, 2006; Carvalhiero et al., 2011).”
