Weeds for bees? A review (2015, background): “There is also some evidence that reducing field size may improve pollination, at least by wild bees (Isaacs and Kirk 2010) which have short foraging distances.”
Pollination services from field-scale agricultural diversification may be context-dependent (2015, background): “In order to evaluate the direct contribution of wild bees, other studies have estimated the contribution of wild and honey bee visitation to seed set separately (Kremen et al., 2002; Isaacs and Kirk, 2010; Winfree et al., 2011; Morandin, Long and Kremen, unpublished data).”
Spillover of functionally important organisms between managed and natural habitats (2012, background): “Blueberries are effectively pollinated by native bees across a variety of sites (Cook et al., 2007; Isaacs and Kirk, 2010).”
Stability of pollination services decreases with isolation from natural areas despite honey bee visits. (2011, background): “Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain why richer pollinator communities might have enhanced function or stability, including species response diversity, functional redundancy, functional complementarity and sampling effects (Tscharntke et al. 2005; Hoehn et al. 2008; Winfree & Kremen 2009”
How well do we understand landscape effects on pollinators and pollination services (2012, background): “…crops are directly affected by changes in landscape structure, resulting in productivity loss that endangers both biodiversity and the stability of food production in the world (Steffan-Dewenter et al. 2005; Tscharntke et al. 2005; Chacoff & Aizen 2006, Carvalheiro et al. 2010; Isaacs & Kirk 2010).”
Flower plantings increase wild bee abundance and the pollination services provided to a pollination-dependent crop (2014, background): “Even within agricultural landscapes surrounded by natural habitats, fruit production can be highly dependent on managed honeybees for crop pollination (Isaacs & Kirk 2010).”
Impacts of honeybee density on crop yield: A meta‐analysis (2019, background): “…Fournier, Neave, & Le Feuvre, 2016; Department of Agriculture and Food, 2006; Gaines- Day, 2013; Howlett, Nelson, Pattemore, & Gee, 2015; Isaacs & Kirk, 2010; Le duc & Turcotte, 2004; Sheffield, Ngo, & Azzu, 2016) list a very large range of colony densities for various crops (Figure 1).”
Where is the value in valuing pollination ecosystem services to agriculture (2015, unknown): “30 ha) (Isaacs and Kirk, 2010).”
