Landscape impacts on pollinator communities in temperate systems: evidence and knowledge gaps (2017, unknown): “…Clough et al. (2014) explored the eﬀect of intensively managed landscapes on bee abundance and diversity in semi-natural grasslands at 239 sites from ﬁve countries and Le Feon et al. (2010) compared the response of wild bee communities to agricultural intensiﬁcation in four European countries.”
Relationships among ecological traits of wild bee communities along gradients of habitat amount and fragmentation (2017, background): “…of our study, early-emerging species might have been favored due to their capacity to forage and reproduce before the main agricultural interventions that can impact bee survival, such as pesticide spraying, mowing or grazing in late spring (Le Féon et al. 2010, Gámez-Virués et al. 2015).”
Weeds for bees? A review (2015, background): “There is a correlation between landscape complexity (including semi-natural features), floral diversity and availability and bee diversity (Duelli and Obrist 2003; Le Féon et al. 2010).”
Mass‐flowering crops increase richness of cavity‐nesting bees and wasps in modern agro‐ecosystems (2014, background): “By providing diverse and more permanent foraging as well as nesting and overwintering resources, seminatural habitats are known to facilitate not only species richness (Steffan-Dewenter et al., 2002; Le F eon et al., 2010) but also bee abundances (Steffan-Dewenter et al., 2002; Jauker et al., 2012).”
Abundance and diversity of wild bees along gradients of heavy metal pollution (2012, background): “One of the major factors causing declines of bee diversity and abundance is habitat loss and fragmentation driven mostly by intensification of agriculture (Banaszak 1995; Steffan-Dewenter 2003; Le Féon et al. 2010).”
Opportunities to enhance pollinator biodiversity in solar parks (2021, background): “For example, beneficial effects of low intensity grazing (low frequency or low density of livestock) on abundance or richness were reported for bees [146], butterflies [138,146,147] and mixed pollinators [148].”
