TL;DR: Using a global database from 89 studies (with 1475 locations), the relative importance of species richness, abundance, and dominance for pollination; biological pest control; and final yields in the context of ongoing land-use change is partitioned.

TL;DR: Using a global database from 89 crop systems, the relative importance of abundance and species richness for pollination, biological pest control and final yields in the context of on-going land-use change is partitioned.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified temporal variability observed in crop pollinators in 21 different crops across multiple years at a global scale, and showed that higher pollinator diversity confers greater inter-annual stability in pollinator communities.

TL;DR: It is concluded that increasing the number of wild pollinator visits may increase yield, and proximity to large forest fragments are important for this.

TL;DR: Self-incompatibility caused by abortion of most self-pollinated flowers is found and it is demonstrated that the prevailing cross pollination ensuring the reproductive success of B. cydoniifolia is the long-distanceCross pollination and Centridini bees; Epicharis nigrita, particularly, are the pollinators promoting the gene flow between genetically distinct populations.
