• Protecting an ecosystem service: approaches to understanding and mitigating threats to wild insect pollinators (2016, background): “1343 1344 It is of further importance that the implementation of specific actions considers what 1345 the short versus long-term effects will be (Blaauw and Isaacs, 2014a).”
• Relationships between wild bees, hoverflies and pollination success in apple orchards with different landscape contexts (2016, background): “…(Rotheray et al., 2009), although they do not generally disperse more than a few hundred metres from floral or prey resources (Wratten et al., 2003; Blaauw & Isaacs, 2014); therefore, higher landscape diversity and evenness in the adjacent environment might enhance their number (Macleod, 1999;…”
• Wildflower plantings enhance the abundance of natural enemies and their services in adjacent blueberry fields (2015, background): “As demonstrated in Blaauw and Isaacs (2014a), throughout the duration of this study, the percent cover and the density per square meter of seeded plants was greater within the wildflower plantings than in the control mown grass field margins, and it increased over time.”
• Pollination reservoirs for wild bee habitat enhancement in cropping systems: a review (2017, background): “Four studies, Carvalheiro et al. (2012), Morandin and Kremen (2013a), Blaauw and Isaacs (2014a) and Venturini et al. (in press), highlight one of the largest gaps in the pollinator habitat enhancement literature.”
• Weed-insect pollinator networks as bio-indicators of ecological sustainability in agriculture. A review (2016, background): “The communities of weed-visiting insects can be enhanced by field margins, hedges (Marshall and Arnold 1995), other buffer zones (Ma et al. 2002), and set-aside fields (Corbet 1995; Steffan-Dewenter and Tscharntke 1997; Blaauw and Isaacs 2014).”
• Flower-strip agri-environment schemes provide diverse and valuable summer flower resources for pollinating insects (2018, background): “Blaauw and Isaacs (2014) recorded 32.6 visits/100 m2/25 min in sown wild-flowers plots (even if they recorded only bees and Syrphidae) and Forup and Memmott (2005) observed 28.6 visits/100 m2/25 min in meadows.”
