• Effects of neonicotinoids and fipronil on non-target invertebrates (2014, unknown): “…that prove evidence of a causal relationship) revealed conflicting results on the involvement of dietary traces of neonicotinoids in the decline of honeybee populations (Cresswell et al. 2012a) and could not establish a causal link between observations of bee decline and neonicotinoid use rates.”
• Landscape impacts on pollinator communities in temperate systems: evidence and knowledge gaps (2017, unknown): “In another study, Brittain et al. (2010) found that the species richness of wild bees declined in vine fields where the insecticide was applied, but did not decline in maize or uncultivated fields.”
• A global quantitative synthesis of local and landscape effects on wild bee pollinators in agroecosystems. (2013, unknown): “…of wild bees associated with intensive agriculture are thought to result from a combination of lack of floral resources other than mass-flowering crops (Holzschuh et al. 2008; Rundl € of et al. 2008), lack of nest sites (Williams et al. 2010) and high use of pesticides (Brittain et al. 2010).”
• Management to enhance pollen and nectar resources for bumblebees and butterflies within intensively farmed landscapes (2011, background): “Intensive agricultural management, loss of habitats and food plants, and increased pesticide use have all been cited as contributing factors to these declines (e.g. Steffan-Dewenter et al. 2005; Carvell et al. 2006; Brittain et al. 2010).”
• Worldwide decline of the entomofauna: A review of its drivers (2019, background): “In Italy, analysis of the abundance and distribution of 6870 records of 11 species of roller dung beetles for the entire 20th century showed a 31% reduction in both abundance and distribution affecting nine species (Carpaneto et al., 2007).”
• Protecting an ecosystem service: approaches to understanding and mitigating threats to wild insect pollinators (2016, background): “…and foraging 392 performance (Desneux et al., 2007; Exley et al., 2015; Fischer et al., 2014; Gill and Raine, 393 2014; Gill et al., 2012; Palmer et al., 2013; Whitehorn et al., 2012), leading to potential harm 394 of wild pollinator populations (Brittain et al., 2010; Rundlöf et al., 2015).”
• Late-season mass-flowering red clover increases bumble bee queen and male densities (2014, unknown): “This intensification has resulted in loss of semi-natural habitat and increased use of agrochemicals, leading to loss of nesting and foraging resources for pollinators and toxic effects of insecticides (Brittain et al., 2010; Carvell et al., 2006b; Kremen et al., 2002; Rundlöf et al., 2008; Williams”
