Pollen transport differs among bees and flies in a human‐modified landscape (2011, background): “…surrounding floral resources (Cresswell & Osborne, 2004; Feldman, 2006; Diekötter et al., 2007), edge effects and habitat quality at field margins (Backman & Tiainen, 2002; Denys & Tscharntke, 2002; Marshall et al., 2006) and habitat preferences associated with foraging, shelter or nesting…”
Insect pollinated plants benefit from organic farming (2007, background): “Along the field edges, pollinators are more frequent, since field margins and other semi-natural habitats are important habitats for pollinators in agricultural landscapes (Lagerlöf et al., 1992; Steffan-Dewenter and Tscharntke, 2001; Bäckman and Tiainen, 2002).”
Patch and landscape factors shape community assemblage of bumble bees, Bombus spp. (Hymenoptera: Apidae), in montane meadows (2007, unknown): “Moreover, bumble bees exist in naturally patchy habitats like montane meadows (Bowers, 1985) and anthropogenically fragmented habitats like wildlands adjacent to agricultural fields (Backman and Tiainen, 2002; Dramstad and Fry, 1995; Goulson et al., 2002; Osborne and Williams, 2001).”
Relationships between insect pests and weeds: an evolutionary perspective (2005, background): “Thus, crops that require pollination (e.g., many fruit crops and cucurbits) may benefit from the presence of a diversity of weeds (Bäckman and Tiainen 2002).”
Providing foraging resources for bumblebees in intensively farmed landscapes (2005, background): “…that carefully designed wildflower seed mixtures can be very successful in supplying forage resources for a range of pollinating insects, including butterflies (Feber et al., 1996; Pywell et al., 2004) and bumblebees (Carreck et al., 1999; B€ackman and Tiainen, 2002; Carvell et al., 2004).”
Interacting effects of farming practice and landscape context on bumble bees (2008, background): “Bumble bee abundance was significantly associated with local abundance of forage resources (Dreisig, 1995; Carvell, 2002; Meek et al., 2002; Bäckman and Tiainen, 2002; Pywell et al., 2005).”
The effect of grazing on bumblebees in the high rangelands of the eastern Tibetan Plateau of Sichuan (2008, background): “... the impacts of livestock grazing on bumblebees in Hongyuan, with three specific questions: (1) Does summer grazing affect bumblebee abundance and diversity? (2) Can differences in bumblebee diversity be explained by differences in bumblebee-food-plant abundance or diversity? and (3) Can lower bu”
Comparing the efficacy of agri‐environment schemes to enhance bumble bee abundance and diversity on arable field margins (2006, background): “The positive response of different species to increased densities of their preferred forage plants has been well documented, both in semi-natural and agricultural landscapes (Dramstad & Fry 1995; Backman & Tiainen 2002; Carvell 2002).”
Plant biodiversity enhances bees and other insect pollinators in agroecosystems. A review (2012, unknown): “Most weed seeds have specialized requirements for germination, making it difficult to sow weeds for experimental purposes (Anderson 1968).”
