Massively Introduced Managed Species and Their Consequences for Plant–Pollinator Interactions (2017, background): “Haaland et al. (2011) showed that sown wildflower strips support higher insect abundances and diversity than cropped habitats or other field margin management types such as sown grass margins and natural regeneration.”
Beyond nectar provision: the other resource requirements of parasitoid biological control agents (2016, background): “…exploring this mechanism and its application to pest control has grown dramatically since then (Altieri & Whitcomb, 1979; Jervis & Kidd, 1986; Kidd & Jervis, 1989; Jervis et al., 1993; Baggen et al., 1999; Wratten et al., 2003; Berndt & Wratten, 2005; Gurr et al., 2011; Gontijo et al., 2013).”
Insect pollinators collect pollen from wind‐pollinated plants: implications for pollination ecology and sustainable agriculture (2018, background): “…are also visited by pollinators, grass species (or other wind-pollinated taxa) are rarely included in analyses or management recommendations (Haaland et al., 2011; Hicks et al., 2016; Orford et al., 2016) and statements that grasses are of no value to bees and other pollinators appear…”
Pollinator-friendly management does not increase the diversity of farmland bees and wasps (2015, background): “However, there has been relatively little assessment of the response of other wild bees to these options (Haaland et al., 2011), despite the fact that these other bees make up the large majority of species diversity.”
Pollination reservoirs for wild bee habitat enhancement in cropping systems: a review (2017, background): “Further, reviews concluded that floral resources were primary drivers of bee populations (Roulston and Goodell 2011), and pollen and nectar rich wildflower strips supported greater abundances of bees (Haaland, Naisbit, and Bersier 2011).”
The decline of moths in Great Britain: a review of possible causes (2013, background): “Most studies, including those on moths, focus on recording changes in the abundance and species richness of adult animals in relation to management treatments and make no assessment of reproduction, immature stages or population dynamics (e.g. Feber et al., 1996; Pywell et al., 2004; Merckx et al., ”
Late-season mass-flowering red clover increases bumble bee queen and male densities (2014, unknown): “Sown areas of flowers are part of European agri-environment schemes to mitigate the loss of forage resources for flower-visiting insects (Haaland et al., 2011), but such interventions are not based on a true understanding of factors limiting population persistence and growth of target organisms.”
