Where is the value in valuing pollination ecosystem services to agriculture (2015, background): “O'Grady (1987) proposed a solution to this problem early on, by the inclusion of a coefficient for the proportion of pollination conducted by honey bees (ρ) (Fig.”
Optimal design of agricultural landscapes for pollination services (2008, background): “Bee density does not translate linearly into seed set because once a sufficient number of pollen grains have been deposited onto a plant’s stigma, adding more does not benefit plant reproduction (e.g., Free 1993; Morandin and Winston 2006).”
Pollination and other ecosystem services produced by mobile organisms: a conceptual framework for the effects of land-use change. (2007, unknown): “For example, following massive applications of the pesticide fenitrothion (used for control of gypsy moth in nearby forests) in Canada, both pollinator communities and blueberry production declined (Kevan & Plowright 1989).”
Importance of pollinators in changing landscapes for world crops (2007, background): “…on visitation rates and fruit set of crops has been assessed as the proportion of near-natural habitats in the surrounding landscape (e.g. Kremen et al. 2004; Morandin & Winston 2006) or as the linear isolation distance from near-natural habitat (e.g. Klein et al. 2003a,b; Chacoff & Aizen 2006).”
Long-term global trends in crop yield and production reveal no current pollination shortage but increasing pollinator dependency. (2008, unknown): “Pollinators can even enhance seed production of genetically engineered crops such as canola, soybean, and sunflower [14–16].”
On the relationship between farmland biodiversity and land-use intensity in Europe (2009, background): “…more efficient pollination services and economic benefits (e.g. Kremen et al. 2002; Klein et al. 2003a,b; Albrecht et al. 2007), and that the provision of these pollination services declines with increasing land-use intensity (e.g. Kremen et al. 2002; Morandin & Winston 2006; Klein et al. 2007).”
Plant biodiversity enhances bees and other insect pollinators in agroecosystems. A review (2012, unknown): “Thus, maximum landscape profit was achieved with just over 30 % of the landscape uncultivated (Morandin and Winston 2006).”
Quantifying the Contribution of Organisms to the Provision of Ecosystem Services (2009, background): “Kremen and colleagues (2002) identified a saturating relationship between cumulative pollen deposition per flower and an increasing number of pollinators (also see Morandin and Winston 2006; table 2).”
Protecting an ecosystem service: approaches to understanding and mitigating threats to wild insect pollinators (2016, background): “Instead of receiving a free and rapid pollination service from a healthy 158 insect community (Morandin and Winston, 2006), it has been replaced by comparatively 159 expensive human labour.”
Crop management modifies the benefits of insect pollination in oilseed rape (2015, unknown): “becoming increasingly acknowledged worldwide (Morandin and Winston, 2006; Klein et al., 2007).”
Pollination reservoirs for wild bee habitat enhancement in cropping systems: a review (2017, background): “…750–1000 m of the crop field is natural habitat, 100% of crop pollination needs were met in watermelon fields (Kremen, Williams, and Thorp 2002), the profitability of canola was significantly increased (Morandin and Winston 2006), and bee populations were maintained over time (Banaszak 1992).”
Pollination efficiency of wild bees and hoverflies provided to oilseed rape (2012, background): “Accordingly, increasing densities of © 2011 The Authors Agricultural and Forest Entomology © 2011 The Royal Entomological Society, Agricultural and Forest Entomology, 14, 81–87 pollinators have been shown to increase yield of oilseed rape in the field (Morandin & Winston, 2005, 2006).”
