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
Diversification practices reduce organic to conventional yield gap
Lauren C. Ponisio,Leithen K. M'Gonigle,Leithen K. M'Gonigle,Kevi C. Mace,Jenny Palomino,Perry de Valpine,Claire Kremen +6 more
TL;DR: Promising results, based on robust analysis of a larger meta-dataset, suggest that appropriate investment in agroecological research to improve organic management systems could greatly reduce or eliminate the yield gap for some crops or regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loss of avian phylogenetic diversity in neotropical agricultural systems.

TL;DR: A complete avian phylogeny with 12 years of Costa Rican bird surveys and a map of the bird evolutionary tree found that more evolutionary branches were lost in intensive agricultural landscapes than in mixed landscapes, suggesting diversified agricultural systems may help buffer against extreme loss of phylogenetic diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Habitat restoration promotes pollinator persistence and colonization in intensively managed agriculture
TL;DR: Analyzing occupancies of native bees and syrphid flies from 330 surveys across 15 sites over eight years, it is found that hedgerow restoration promotes rates of between-season persistence and colonization as compared with unrestored field edges, leading to the formation of more species-rich communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
EDITOR'S CHOICE: Small-scale restoration in intensive agricultural landscapes supports more specialized and less mobile pollinator species
TL;DR: Hedgerows not only significantly enhanced occurrences of native bee and syrphid fly species, but that as hedgerows matured, they had a greater positive effect on species that were more specialized in floral and nesting resources and smaller (less mobile).
