Effects of fragmentation on pollinator assemblage, pollen limitation and seed production of Mediterranean myrtle (Myrtus communis) (2009, background): “This pollination environment can be dissected in (1) the plant population side, including population size and density and kinship relationships (e.g., Heschel and Paige, 1995; Cunningham, 2000; Duncan et al., 2004), and in (2) the pollinator environment, including abundance, efficiency and diversity”
The Swiss agri-environment scheme enhances pollinator diversity and plant reproductive success in nearby intensively managed farmland (2007, background): “Several studies have reported a positive correlation between habitat size and the abundance and diversity of insect pollinators (Aizen & Feinsinger 1994; Lennartsson 2002) but the present study and others (Gathmann, Greiler & Tscharntke 1994; Donaldson et al. 2002) have”
Impacts of coffee agroforestry management on tropical bee communities. (2010, background): “While a handful of studies have similarly found that bee richness does not increase with increasing semi-natural habitat size or availability (Donaldson et al., 2002; Cane et al., 2006; Brosi et al., 2008), the majority”
Landscape effects of forest loss in a pollination system (2007, background): “…of plants have been shown to be accompanied by changes in the communities of their mutualistic partner, pollinators (Aizen and Feinsinger 1994b; Steffan-Dewenter and Tscharntke 1999; Steffan-Dewenter et al. 2001; Donaldson et al. 2002; Ghazoul and McLeish 2002; Murren 2002; Quesada et al. 2004).”
MEASURING BEE DIVERSITY IN DIFFERENT EUROPEAN HABITATS AND BIOGEOGRAPHICAL REGIONS (2008, background): “…the last decade increasing concern has been raised about the declines and losses of pollinators and the deterioration of the ecosystem service they provide (Jennersten 1988, Kearns et al. 1998, Cunningham 2000, Donaldson et al. 2002, Committee on the Status of Pollinators in North America 2007).”
How well do we understand landscape effects on pollinators and pollination services (2012, background): “…to a dramatic simplification of pollinator interaction networks due to a decrease in the availability of specialized and rare pollinators (e.g., Donaldson et al. 2002; Brosi et al. 2007) For instance, the loss of some pollinator groups such as birds, flies and non-flying mammals impaired…”
Pollination and other ecosystem services produced by mobile organisms: a conceptual framework for the effects of land-use change. (2007, unknown): “The response of bee individuals, populations and communities to land-use change is largely driven by the spatial and temporal distribution of ﬂoral, nesting and over-wintering”
Effects of fragmentation on pollinator abundance and fruit set of an abundant understory palm in a Mexican tropical forest (2008, result): “…to fragmentation have been noticed in other studies with long-lived plants, including semi-tropical ecosystems (e.g., Aizen and Feinsinger, 1994; Donaldson et al., 2002; Ghazoul and McLeish, 2001), but we are not aware of other studies in which such a magnitude of fragmentation-related…”
Factors affecting bee communities in forest openings and adjacent mature forest (2017, background): “, 2008), or mixed responses by guild (Cane et al., 2006; Donaldson et al., 2002; Neame et al., 2013).”
