Patterns of pollinator turnover and increasing diversity associated with urban habitats (2017, background): “It was unaffected by the proportion of surrounding forest cover, otherwise positively associated with bee diversity in our region (Martins et al. 2015), likely because deciduous forests were depauperate in floral resources in the late summer when field sampling took place (Winfree et al. 2007;…”
Ecosystem services by birds and bees to coffee in a changing climate: A review of coffee berry borer control and pollination (2019, background): “Evidence in tropical regions is more sparse (Vanbergen, 2013), but declines in bee abundance and diversity and changes in their spatial distributions have also been observed (e.g., Giannini et al., 2012, 2015b, 2017; Martins et al., 2015; Nemésio et al., 2016; Elias et al., 2017; Imbach et al., 2017”
Pollination efficiency and foraging behaviour of honey bees and non‐Apis bees to sweet cherry (2019, background): “Doing so, they carry less dry pollen on their bodies that is available for pollination compared with solitary bees (Free, 1993; Martins et al., 2015).”
Protecting an ecosystem service: approaches to understanding and mitigating threats to wild insect pollinators (2016, background): “…future pollination deficits (Albrecht et al., 2012; 289 Breeze et al., 2014; Gagic et al., 2015; Garratt et al., 2014b; Hoehn et al., 2008; Isbell et al., 290 2011; Mallinger and Gratton, 2015; Martins et al., 2015; Orford et al., 2015; Winfree et al., 291 2007; but see: Winfree et al., 2015).”
Pollination by wild bees yields larger strawberries than pollination by honey bees (2019, background): “…intensive to determine individual species’ pollen contributions by pollen- counting, so pollinator performance is often measured using the visit frequency of different pollinator guilds—a reasonable but coarse approach (Klein et al., 2012; Martins et al., 2015; Vázquez, Morris, & Jordano, 2005).”
Pollination services for apple are dependent on diverse wild bee communities (2016, background): “Recent studies in apple orchards found that wild pollinators alone were able to achieve comparable fruit set levels to orchards with managed honey bees (Mallinger and Gratton, 2014) and that functional diversity can improve pollination services in Canadian orchards (Martins et al., 2015).”
Climate change in the Eastern Amazon: crop-pollinator and occurrence-restricted bees are potentially more affected (2020, background): “…(Steffan-Dewenter and Tscharntke 1999; Benjamin et al. 2014; Aguirre-Gutiérrez et al. 2016; Mayes et al. 2019), the compatibility with different floral morphologies (Armbruster and Muchhala 2009), and, also, the pollination efficiency per visit (i.e., pollen deposition) (Martins et al. 2015a, b).”
Research trends in ecosystem services provided by insects (2017, unknown): “However, the sheer lack of knowledge on insect ES throughout most of the world’s ecosystems makes more developed analyses on geographical and ecological biases premature”
Do sown flower strips boost wild pollinator abundance and pollination services in a spring-flowering crop? A case study from UK cider apple orchards (2017, background): “As an alternative, the restoration of 81 habitat within farms could enable farmers to enhance existing species pools and 82 pollination services (Kremen et al. 2004; Martins et al. 2015).”
