TL;DR: Of the 13 components of intensification the authors measured, use of insecticides and fungicides had consistent negative effects on biodiversity, and organic farming and other agri-environment schemes aiming to mitigate the negative effects are found.

TL;DR: Using a unique GPS-tracking database of 803 individuals across 57 species, it is found that movements of mammals in areas with a comparatively high human footprint were on average one-half to one-third the extent of their movements in area with a low human footprint.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional identity and diversity of animals predict ecosystem functioning better than species-based indices
Vesna Gagic,Ignasio Bartomeus,Tomas Jonsson,Astrid Taylor,Camilla Winqvist,Christina Fischer,Eleanor M. Slade,Ingolf Steffan-Dewenter,Mark C. Emmerson,Simon G. Potts,Teja Tscharntke,Wolfgang W. Weisser,Riccardo Bommarco +12 more
TL;DR: This study provides new insights into the general mechanisms that link biodiversity to ecosystem functioning in natural animal communities and suggests that the observed responses were due to the identity and dominance patterns of the trait composition rather than the number or abundance of species per se.
Journal ArticleDOI
The interplay of landscape composition and configuration: new pathways to manage functional biodiversity and agroecosystem services across Europe
Emily A. Martin,Matteo Dainese,Yann Clough,András Báldi,Riccardo Bommarco,Vesna Gagic,Michael P.D. Garratt,Andrea Holzschuh,David Kleijn,Anikó Kovács-Hostyánszki,Lorenzo Marini,Simon G.

TL;DR: In landscapes with high edge density, 70% of pollinator and 44% of natural enemy species reached highest abundances and pollination and pest control improved 1.7- and 1.4-fold respectively, suggesting that enhancing edge density in European agroecosystems can promote functional biodiversity and yield-enhancing ecosystem services.
Journal ArticleDOI
Agricultural intensification and biodiversity partitioning in European landscapes comparing plants, carabids, and birds

TL;DR: Local AI was closely correlated to beta diversity on larger scales up to the farm and region level, and thereby was an indicator of farm- and region-wide biodiversity losses, and in contrast to expectations, AI does not necessarily homogenize local communities, presumably due to the heterogeneity of farming practices.
