Ecosystem Services in Decision Making: Time to Deliver (2009, background): “There are also many fine-scale studies of ecosystem production functions, typically focusing on a single service (Kremen et al. 2002; Ricketts et al. 2004; Jackson et al. 2005; Hougner et al. 2006).”
The importance of urban backgardens on plant and invertebrate recruitment: a field microcosm experiment (2010, background): “In urban ecosystems, there is significant pressure on pollinators and other invertebrates as urban development, human activities, undeveloped and ecologically uniform habitat, and fragmented natural areas limit the number of habitats which are suitable for foraging, nesting, and dispersal of these o”
The Swiss agri-environment scheme enhances pollinator diversity and plant reproductive success in nearby intensively managed farmland (2007, background): “In addition, ECA may provide some insurance against disruptions of plant‐pollinator interactions in highly variable agroecosystems (Yachi & Loreau 1999; Kremen, Williams & Thorp 2002 ).”
How to be a specialist? Quantifying specialisation in pollination networks (2011, neutral): “Thus, many pollinators not necessarily deposit enough of the right pollen (although pollination success often goes hand in hand with pollinator diversity: Kremen et al., 2002).”
Extinction order and altered community structure rapidly disrupt ecosystem functioning. (2005, methodology): “Studies of wild bee pollination were conducted on 14 organic and conventional watermelon farm sites in Yolo County, California that varied in proximity to natural habitat, forming a gradient of agricultural intensification (Kremen et al. 2002).”
Insect Declines in the Anthropocene. (2020, background): “Agricultural intensi!cation is recognized in many studies as a pervasive and increasing threat to bees and their ecosystem services (61, 103, 104, 164).”
On managing the red mason bee (Osmia bicornis) in apple orchards (2011, positive): “Meanwhile, evidence has been accumulating that both wild and commercially managed pollinators are in decline (Kremen et al. 2002; Winfree 2008; Aizen et al. 2009).”
Have changing forests conditions contributed to pollinator decline in the southeastern United States (2015, background): “, 2013) as a result of changes in land use, fragmentation, agricultural intensification, pesticide use, invasive species, diseases, urbanization, and climate change (Kremen et al., 2002; Steffen-Dewenter et al., 2002; Winfree, 2010; Burkle et al., 2013).”
Functional group diversity of bee pollinators increases crop yield (2008, background): “Seed set increased strongly with bee richness, supporting previous studies that showed positive correlations between pollinator diversity and pollen deposition (Kremen et al. 2002) or fruit set (Klein et al.”
Isolation from forest reduces pollination, seed predation and insect scavenging in Swiss farmland (2009, background): “Steffan-Dewenter and Tscharntke 1999; Kremen et al. 2002 ).”
Pollination services for apple are dependent on diverse wild bee communities (2016, background): “There is a growing consensus that biodiversity enhances ecosystem function in general (Hooper et al., 2005) and the delivery of the ecosystem service of pollination in particular (Kremen et al., 2002; Klein et al., 2003; Hoehn et al., 2008).”
Improving intercropping: a synthesis of research in agronomy, plant physiology and ecology. (2015, background): “Globally, pests are estimated to destroy more than 30% of crop yield annually (Oerke, 2006), while declining insect pollinator abundance (Goulson et al., 2008) could limit the productivity of insect-pollinated crops worldwide (Kremen et al., 2002).”
Pollen Limitation of Plant Reproduction: Pattern and Process (2005, background): “Even ecosystem services provided to humans by plants and pollinators, such as pollination of crops, may be at risk (Buchmann & Nabhan 1996, Kremen et al. 2002, Kremen & Ricketts 2000, Ricketts et al. 2004).”
Plant biodiversity enhances bees and other insect pollinators in agroecosystems. A review (2012, neutral): “Several features associated with modern agriculture make farms poor habitat for wild bees and other pollinators, and many agricultural practices impact directly or indirectly pollinator populations (Kremen et al. 2002).”
