  • Creating patches of native flowers facilitates crop pollination in large agricultural fields : mango as a case study 
    Carvalheiro, Luísa G.; Seymour, Colleen L.; Nicolson, Sue W.; Veldtman, Ruan (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-12)
    1. As cropland increases, fields become progressively isolated from pollinators, leading to declines in pollinator-dependent crop productivity. With the rise in demand for pollinatordependent foods, such productivity ...
  • Economic and ecological implications of geographic bias in pollinator ecology in the light of pollinator declines 
    Archer, C. Ruth; Pirk, Christian Walter Werner; Carvalheiro, Luísa G.; Nicolson, Sue W. (Wiley- Blackwell, 2014-04)
    Understanding the causes and consequences of pollinator declines is a priority in ecological research. However, across much of the globe we have a poor understanding of pollinator assemblages, population trends and the ...
  • A global quantitative synthesis of local and landscape effects on wild bee pollinators in agroecosystems 
    Kennedy, Christina M.; Lonsdorf, Eric; Neel, Maile C.; Williams, Neal M.; Ricketts, Taylor H.; Winfree, Rachel; Bommarco, Riccardo; Brittain, Claire; Burley, Alana L.; Cariveau, Daniel; Carvalheiro, Luísa G.; Chacoff, Natacha P.; Cunningham, Saul A.; Danforth, Bryan N.; Dudenhöffer, Jan-Hendrik; Elle, Elizabeth; Gaines, Hannah R.; Garibaldi, Lucas A.; Gratton, Claudio; Holzschuh, Andrea; Isaacs, Rufus; Javorek, Steven K.; Jha, Shalene; Klein, Alexandra M.; Krewenka, Kristin; Mandelik, Yael; Mayfield, Margaret M.; Morandin, Lora A.; Neame, Lisa A.; Otieno, Mark; Park, Mia; Potts, Simon G.; Rundlof, Maj; Saez, Agustin; Steffan-Dewenter, Ingolf; Taki, Hisatomo; Viana, Blandina Felipe; Westphal, Catrin; Wilson, Julianna K.; Greenleaf, Sarah S.; Kremen, Claire (Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-05)
    Bees provide essential pollination services that are potentially affected both by local farm management and the surrounding landscape. To better understand these different factors, we modelled the relative effects of ...
  • Natural and within-farmland biodiversity enhances crop productivity 
    Carvalheiro, Luísa G.; Veldtman, Ruan; Shenkute, Awraris Getachew; Tesfay, Gebreamlak Bezabih; Pirk, Christian Walter Werner; Donaldson, John Sydney; Nicolson, Sue W. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-03)
    Ongoing expansion of large-scale agriculture critically threatens natural habitats and the 3 pollination services they offer. Creating patches with high plant diversity within farmland is 4 commonly suggested as a measure ...
  • Stability of pollination services decreases with isolation from natural areas despite honey bee visits 
    Garibaldi, Lucas A.; Steffan-Dewenter, Ingolf; Kremen, Claire; Morales, Juan M.; Bommarco, Riccardo; Cunningham, Saul A.; Carvalheiro, Luísa G.; Chacoff, Natacha P.; Ducenhoffer, Jan H.; Greenleaf, Sarah S.; Holzschuh, Andrea; Isaacs, Rufus; Krewenka, Kristin; Mandelik, Yael; Mayfield, Margaret M.; Morandin, Lora A.; Potts, Simon G.; Ricketts, Taylor H.; Szentgyorgyi, Hajnalka; Viana, Blandina Felipe; Wetsphal, Catrin; Winfree, Rachael; Klein, Alexandra M. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-10)
    Sustainable agricultural landscapes by definition provide high magnitude and stability of ecosystem services, biodiversity and crop productivity. However, few studies have considered landscape effects on the stability ...
