Bee foraging ranges and their relationship to body size (2007, background): “Crop pollination is enhanced by bees that depend on natural habitats ( Greenleaf and Kremen 2006a, 2006b; Klein et al. 2003a, 2003b; Kremen et al. 2004, 2002; Ricketts 2004).”
Stability of pollination services decreases with isolation from natural areas despite honey bee visits. (2011, background): “Yes, no 96 Shrubland, dwarf shrubland 20–440 Central Israel 4, 2 positions (edge vs. interior) 11, 2 Tomato (cherry) Greenleaf & Kremen 2006a Solanum lycopersicum Anthophora urbana, Bombus vosnesenskii Yes, yes 0 Chaparral scrub, oak savannah, riparian woodland 30–3939 USA, California 13, 4…”
Pollination reservoirs for wild bee habitat enhancement in cropping systems: a review (2017, background): “In a California study, tomato size was enhanced by wild bees (Greenleaf and Kremen 2006a), but only five genera comprised all of the wild bee visitors to blossoms.”
Interacting effects of farming practice and landscape context on bumble bees (2008, background): “…landscapes are thought to be the removal and fragmentation of semi-natural habitats (Kremen et al., 2002; Ricketts, 2004; Tscharntke et al., 2005; Greenleaf and Kremen, 2006) and intensification of farming practises, e.g. increased use of pesticides and fertilizers (agrochemicals) which directly…”
Importance of pollinators in changing landscapes for world crops (2007, background): “…annuus (sunflower) proportional area of natural habitat wild bee diversity and abundance (estimated increase in seed set via single visit studies) Greenleaf & Kremen (2006) organic versus conventional farm management wild bee diversity and abundance, n.s. Greenleaf & Kremen (2006) Lycopersicon…”
Pollination and other ecosystem services produced by mobile organisms: a conceptual framework for the effects of land-use change. (2007, unknown): “…addition, although self-compatible plants do not require outcross pollen for fertilization, they often produce more seeds and/or larger fruits (e.g. Greenleaf & Kremen 2006a), more vigorous offspring (Marshall 1991) and/or show greater recruitment into the next generation (Herrera 2000) when…”
