Where is the value in valuing pollination ecosystem services to agriculture (2015, background): “Furthermore, in a number of commercial cropping systems, wild bee densities seem sufficiently high to render the rental of honey bee colonies superfluous (Eaton and Nams, 2012; Petersen et al., 2013; Winfree et al., 2007; Winfree et al., 2008).”
The Economic Value of the Pollination Service, a Review Across Scales (2009, background): “Winfree et al. 2008; Hoehn et al. 2008). For example, Greenleaf and Kremen (2006) experimentally investigated tomato pollination by wild bees in North Californian.”
Creating patches of native flowers facilitates crop pollination in large agricultural fields: mango as a case study (2012, background): “Our study adds to a growing body of evidence (e.g. Winfree et al. 2008; Carvalheiro et al. 2011) that the presence of flower diversity before and during crop flowering facilitates, rather than reduces, pollination of the hyperabundant crop flower resource.”
Frontiers inEcology and the Environment From research to action : enhancing crop yield through wild pollinators (2014, result): “Similar results were found for wild plants within watermelon and muskmelon fields in the US (Winfree et al. 2008).”
Chronic impairment of bumblebee natural foraging behaviour induced by sublethal pesticide exposure (2014, background): “Social bees (honeybees, bumblebees and stingless bees) are key insect pollinators (Greenleaf & Kremen 2006; Winfree et al. 2007, 2008), so it is particularly worrying that populations have experienced significant declines in recent years (Old- royd 2007; vanEngelsdorp et al. 2008; Goulson, Lye…”
Pollination reservoirs for wild bee habitat enhancement in cropping systems: a review (2017, background): “In agroecosystems nested in florally rich, heterogeneous landscapes, the added benefit of PRs will be less (Scheper et al. 2013, 2015; Winfree et al. 2008).”
A global quantitative synthesis of local and landscape effects on wild bee pollinators in agroecosystems. (2013, unknown): “Most striking is that higher vegetation diversity in conventional crop ﬁelds may increase pollinator abundance to the same extent as organically managed ﬁelds with low vegetation diversity (see also Winfree et al. 2008).”
Gardens benefit bees and enhance pollination in intensively managed farmland (2011, background): “We focused on bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) as they are an important group of pollinators (Winfree et al., 2008).”
Wild Pollinators Enhance Fruit Set of Crops Regardless of Honey Bee Abundance (2013, methodology): “Watermelon (C) (27, 38) Winfree, rwinfree@rutgers.”
Linking Land Cover Data and Crop Yields for Mapping and Assessment of Pollination Services in Europe (2013, background): “Habitat heterogeneity and the presence of semi-natural habitats in an agricultural landscape improve insect activity due to increased nesting sites and floral resources [35–37].”
