Wild Pollinators Enhance Fruit Set of Crops Regardless of Honey Bee Abundance

Lucas Alejandro Garibaldi, +54 more
- 29 Mar 2013 - 
TL;DR: Overall, wild insects pollinated crops more effectively; an increase in wild insect visitation enhanced fruit set by twice as much as an equivalent increase in honey bee visitation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Delivery of crop pollination services is an insufficient argument for wild pollinator conservation

David Kleijn, +58 more
TL;DR: It is shown that, while the contribution of wild bees to crop production is significant, service delivery is restricted to a limited subset of all known bee species, suggesting that cost-effective management strategies to promote crop pollination should target a different set of species than management Strategies to promote threatened bees.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-bee insects are important contributors to global crop pollination

Romina Rader, +59 more
TL;DR: It is shown that non-bee insect pollinators play a significant role in global crop production and respond differently than bees to landscape structure, probably making their crop pollination services more robust to changes in land use.
Journal ArticleDOI

Profiling crop pollinators: life history traits predict habitat use and crop visitation by Mediterranean wild bees

TL;DR: It is found that crop and non-crop pollinators are distinguished by behavioral and morphological traits and analysis of life-history traits of bee communities can help assess the pollination services they are likely to provide (when taking into account single-visit pollination efficiency).
Journal ArticleDOI

Watermelon pollinators exhibit complementarity in both visitation rate and single‐visit pollination efficiency

TL;DR: Investigating the existence of pollinator complementarity in both visitation rates and pollination efficiencies suggests further diversity effects on crop yield, and calls for taking into account the variability in pollination efficiency along spatiotemporal scales rather than considering it a constant, species-specific trait.
