Managing ecosystem services in broadacre landscapes: what are the appropriate spatial scales? (2008, background): “The loss and greater isolation of native vegetation remnants and semi-natural areas on farms does reduce pollination services (Kremen et al. 2002, 2004; Blanche et al. 2006).”
Long-term global trends in crop yield and production reveal no current pollination shortage but increasing pollinator dependency. (2008, unknown): “, [16, 29–31]), but it does suggest that these phenomena recorded at local scale do not aggregate up to a global depression in yield by pollinator-dependent crops.”
Pollen transport differs among bees and flies in a human‐modified landscape (2011, background): “Although several studies have focused on native bees (Klein et al., 2003; Kremen et al., 2004; Blanche et al., 2006; Greenleaf & Kremen, 2006; Klein et al., 2007, Winfree et al., 2007, 2008; Zurbuchen et al., 2010a,b) and specialist and/or rare pollinators of conservation significance (Kwak et al.,…”
Spillover of functionally important organisms between managed and natural habitats (2012, background): “…(Klein et al., 2003), Costa Rica (Ricketts, 2004), and Brazil (De Marco and Coelho, 2004); pollinating beetles for atemoya (Blanche and Cunningham, 2005); stingless bees in Longan orchards (Blanche et al., 2006) in Queensland; and ants in mango orchards in South Africa (Carvalheiro et al., 2010).”
Alternative pollinator taxa are equally efficient but not as effective as the honeybee in a mass flowering crop (2009, unknown): “Although other studies have demonstrated a positive relationship between pollinator diversity and existing vegetation in agro-ecosystems (Steffan-Dewenter et al. 2002; Klein et al. 2003; Blanche et al. 2006; Ricketts et al. 2008), highly modified agricultural landscapes also have existing features w”
Stability of pollination services decreases with isolation from natural areas despite honey bee visits. (2011, background): “…2008 Citrus paradisi A. mellifera, stingless bees (Meliponini) No, yes 95 Subtropical, premontane forest 0–1000 Argentina, Salta 40, 10 trees 60, 6 Longan Blanche et al. 2006 Dimocarpus longan A. mellifera, stingless bees (Meliponini) No, yes 49 Tropical rain forest and savannah 100–30 000…”
Biodiversity, species interactions and ecological networks in a fragmented world (2012, background): “Other studies have reported positive influences of natural forest on pollination interactions in farmland (e.g. Florida, USA: Artz and Waddington, 2006; North Queensland, Australia: Blanche et al., 2006).”
Ecological and life-history traits predict bee species responses to environmental disturbances (2010, background): “…(1999) Isolation Western Europe 8 Rust et al. (2003) Disturbance, urban Western Europe 9 Klein et al. (2003a,b) Isolation, Ag Indonesia 10 Blanche et al. (2006) Isolation, till Australia 11 Gemmill-Herren and Ochieng (2008) Isolation, till East Africa 12 MacKenzie and Eickwort (1996) Ag…”
Pollination reservoirs for wild bee habitat enhancement in cropping systems: a review (2017, background): “In Germany, Holzschuh, Dudenhöffer, and Tscharntke (2012) found this relationship in cherry orchards; in Australia, Blanche, Ludwig, and Cunningham (2006) confirmed the pattern in macadamia and longan orchards.”
Role of native bees and natural habitats in eggplant (Solanum melongena) pollination in Kenya (2008, background): “002 provisioning of pollination services in farming systems in Australia, California, Costa Rica, and Indonesia (Blanche et al., 2006; Greenleaf and Kremen, 2007; Klein et al., 2003; Kremen et al., 2002; Ricketts, 2004).”
