Wild bee abundance declines with urban warming, regardless of floral density (2018, background): “…not (Carper et al. 2014; Fortel et al. 2014); and, whereas specialist pollinators are generally more sensitive to land-use change than are generalists (Winfree et al. 2011), studies of bees along urban gradients have found minimal support for this pattern (Cane et al. 2006; Carper et al. 2014).”
Pollination efficiency and foraging behaviour of honey bees and non‐Apis bees to sweet cherry (2019, background): “In addition to the abundance of honey bees, the community of pollinating insects in agricultural crops is often very diverse (Winfree et al., 2011).”
Diversity and abundance of solitary and primitively eusocial bees in an urban centre: a case study from Northampton (England) (2015, background): “Although research has shown that urbanisation may have overall negative effects on the abundance and diversity of bees (Fetridge et al. 2008; Hernandez et al. 2009; Winfree et al. 2011; though see Baldock et al. 2015), every urban area has a unique developmental history, and more research is needed ”
From research to action: Enhancing crop yield through wild pollinators (2014, background): “Conserving or restoring (semi-)natural areas within landscapes dominated by crops often provides habitat for wild pollinator populations (Figure 3; Garibaldi et al. 2011b; Winfree et al. 2011a).”
Non-bee insects are important contributors to global crop pollination (2015, positive): “Anthropogenic land use change and intensification are considered to be among the main drivers of bee declines (45, 46).”
Non-native species in urban environments: patterns, processes, impacts and challenges (2017, background): “Most urban ecosystems have effective networks of seed dispersers (Cruz et al. 2013), pollinators (Winfree et al. 2011; Baldock et al. 2015), and other facilitators for the integration of many non-native plants.”
Local habitat characteristics but not landscape urbanization drive pollinator visitation and native plant pollination in forest remnants (2013, background): “Numerous studies have quantified the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on plant reproduction (reviewed in Aguilar et al., 2006), and a growing number of studies document the impact of land-use changes on pollinator communities (Winfree et al., 2011).”
The winners and losers of land use intensification: pollinator community disassembly is non‐random and alters functional diversity (2014, positive): “…nd D is tr ib ut io ns The consequences of land use change are particularly important for insect pollinators, which provide pollination services for between 78 and 94% of all flowering plants and 75% of the leading global food crops (Klein et al., 2007; Ollerton et al., 2011; Winfree et al., 2011).”
Protecting an ecosystem service: approaches to understanding and mitigating threats to wild insect pollinators (2016, background): “Insect pollination also has high economic value to 123 humans (Allsopp et al., 2008, Hein, 2009; Palomo et al., 2015; Winfree et al., 2011b), 124 significantly increasing the yield and health of cultivated crops (see Table 1), placing the 125 value of insect pollination for world agriculture >…”
