Frontiers inEcology and the Environment From research to action : enhancing crop yield through wild pollinators (2014, background): “In addition to functional traits, interspecific differences in response traits to climate and land-use change (Winfree et al. 2009; Williams et al. 2010) can increase resilience of pollination services (Brittain et al. 2013).”
From research to action: Enhancing crop yield through wild pollinators (2014, background): “The consequent reduction in (semi-)natural areas within agricultural landscapes decreases the richness and abundance of wild pollinators, including bees, syrphid flies, and butterflies (Williams et al. 2010; Winfree et al. 2011a), further diminishing crop pollination (Garibaldi et al.”
Creating patches of native flowers facilitates crop pollination in large agricultural fields: mango as a case study (2012, background): “…flowering before mango, and that NFCAs were not mowed during the study might also have helped, creating potential nesting areas for wild bees (see Williams et al. 2010), although in conventional fields, these areas will likely be adversely affected by insecticide applications, compromising…”
Diversity patterns of wild bees and wasps in managed boreal forests: Effects of spatial structure, local habitat and surrounding landscape (2015, background): “2009) and aboveground nesters in fresh burns (Williams et al. 2010) have also been reported.”
Nesting habitat of ground‐nesting bees: a review (2020, background): “…the effects of different anthropogenic and environmental factors (agricultural management (Martins et al., 2018), agricultural intensification (Williams et al., 2010; Renauld et al., 2016; Carrié et al., 2018), fire (Burkle et al., 2019; Galbraith et al., 2019), habitat management (Buckles &…”
Grazing alters insect visitation networks and plant mating systems (2014, neutral): “As central location foragers, social bees can be sensitive to the distribution of nesting and forage habitats in the landscape surrounding the nest, although this depends on species identity and the extent of landscape simplification (Williams et al. 2010; Carvell et al. 2012; Kennedy et al. 2013).”
The role of resources and risks in regulating wild bee populations. (2011, background): “Life-history traits include level of sociality and nesting habit (excavating belowground, excavating aboveground, or utilizing preexisting cavities), which influence bee population responses to disturbance (129).”
A global synthesis of fire effects on pollinators (2019, background): “Pollinators that are re‐ silient to fire show life history traits or response strategies to survive fires, or to quickly recolonize or forage in the postfire area (Pausas, 2019; Pausas & Parr, 2018; Williams et al., 2010).”
Plant-Pollinator Interactions over 120 Years: Loss of Species, Co-Occurrence, and Function (2013, result): “Furthermore, the loss of bees was non-random, such that bees that were specialists, parasites, cavity-nesters and/or those that participated in weak historic interactions were more likely to be extirpated (Table S2), congruent with other findings (18-19).”
Natural land cover drives pollinator abundance and richness, leading to reductions in pollen limitation in cotton agroecosystems (2016, background): “, 2004) and environmental changes that alter the spatial and temporal distribution of important nesting and food resources can influence pollinator community composition (reviewed by Kremen et al., 2002; Williams et al., 2010).”
