Impact of landscape alteration and invasions on pollinators: a meta‐analysis (2012, background): “For example, there is high concern regarding the impact these factors pose on pollinators and on the ecosystem service they provide (Buchmann & Nabhan 1996; Biesmeijer et al. 2006; Goulson, Lye & Darvill 2008; Carvalheiro et al. 2010; Potts et al. 2010).”
Spillover of functionally important organisms between managed and natural habitats (2012, background): “…(Klein et al., 2003), Costa Rica (Ricketts, 2004), and Brazil (De Marco and Coelho, 2004); pollinating beetles for atemoya (Blanche and Cunningham, 2005); stingless bees in Longan orchards (Blanche et al., 2006) in Queensland; and ants in mango orchards in South Africa (Carvalheiro et al., 2010).”
Flower plantings increase wild bee abundance and the pollination services provided to a pollination-dependent crop (2014, background): “At the landscape scale, natural habitat is necessary to support a diverse pool of wild pollinators and their services to crop fields (Carvalheiro et al. 2010; Klein et al. 2012), while at the field scale, the addition of floral resources may locally augment bee density and diversity.”
Landscapes with wild bee habitats enhance pollination, fruit set and yield of sweet cherry (2012, unknown): “Further recent evidence for a positive effect of natural habitat on fruit set in crops comes from mango (Carvalheiro et al., 2010) and sunflower (Carvalheiro et al.”
Pollination reservoirs for wild bee habitat enhancement in cropping systems: a review (2017, background): “A growing body of evidence supports the hypothesis that the proportion of natural habitat around a crop field has a greater influence on wild bees than local-scale floral resources (Carvalheiro et al. 2010; Steffan-Dewenter and Tscharntke 1999).”
Stability of pollination services decreases with isolation from natural areas despite honey bee visits. (2011, background): “Additionally, lower mean levels of richness or visitation rate are known to reduce both the mean and stability of fruit set (e.g. Hoehn et al. 2008; Carvalheiro et al. 2010).”
Do sown flower strips boost wild pollinator abundance and pollination services in a spring-flowering crop? A case study from UK cider apple orchards (2017, unknown): “78 Although the role of semi-natural habitats in supporting pollinator communities is 79 clear (Carvalheiro et al. 2010), many farms exist in landscapes already dominated by 80 intensive agriculture (Morandin & Kremen 2013).”
Synthesis, part of a Special Feature on A Social-Ecological Analysis of Diversified Farming Systems: Benefits, Costs, Obstacles, and Enabling Policy Frameworks Ecosystem Services in Biologically Diversified versus Conventional Farming Systems: Benefits, Externalities, and Trade-Offs (2012, background): “In those studies that do, landscape-scale variables overshadow the effects of local-scale management (e.g., Kremen et al. 2002, Carvalheiro et al. 2010).”
Home site advantage in two long‐lived arctic plant species: results from two 30‐year reciprocal transplant studies (2012, background): “For example, there is high concern regarding the impact these factors pose on pollinators and on the ecosystem service they provide (Buchmann & Nabhan 1996; Biesmeijer et al. 2006; Goulson, Lye & Darvill 2008; Carvalheiro et al. 2010; Potts et al. 2010).”
Creating patches of native flowers facilitates crop pollination in large agricultural fields: mango as a case study (2012, methodology): “Both abundance and diversity of flower visitors are important to crop pollination efficiency (Kremen, Williams & Thorp 2002; Carvalheiro et al. 2010) and stability (Klein 2009; Winfree & Kremen 2009).”
Species richness of wild bees, but not the use of managed honeybees, increases fruit set of a pollinator-dependent crop (2015, background): “Visits by wild pollinators increased fruit set even where substantial quantities of managed bees were present, suggesting that the pollination contribution of wild bees is unique and additive to that of managed bees (Carvalheiro et al. 2010).”
