TL;DR: This synthesis reveals that pollinator persistence will depend on both the maintenance of high-quality habitats around farms and on local management practices that may offset impacts of intensive monoculture agriculture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stability of pollination services decreases with isolation from natural areas despite honey bee visits

Dudenhöffer,Sarah S. Greenleaf,Andrea Holzschuh,Andrea Holzschuh,Rufus Isaacs,Kristin M. Krewenka,Yael Mandelik,Margaret M. Mayfield,Lora A. Morandin,Simon G. Potts,Taylor H. Ricketts,Hajnalka Szentgyörgyi,Blandina Felipe Viana,Catrin Westphal,Rachael Winfree,Alexandra M. Klein +24 more
TL;DR: Wild pollinators are relevant for crop productivity and stability even when honey bees are abundant, and policies to preserve and restore natural areas in agricultural landscapes should enhance levels and reliability of pollination services.
Journal ArticleDOI
From research to action: Enhancing crop yield through wild pollinators
Lucas Alejandro Garibaldi,Luísa G. Carvalheiro,Luísa G. Carvalheiro,Sara D. Leonhardt,Marcelo A. Aizen,Brett R. Blaauw,Rufus Isaacs,Michael Kuhlmann,David Kleijn,Alexandra M. Klein,Claire Kremen,Lora A. Morandin,Jeroen Scheper,Rachael Winfree +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a general framework and examples of approaches for enhancing pollinator richness and abundance, quantity and quality of pollen on stigmas, crop yield, and farmers' profit, including some benefits detected only through longterm monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hedgerow restoration promotes pollinator populations and exports native bees to adjacent fields.
Lora A. Morandin,Claire Kremen +1 more
TL;DR: This investigation investigated whether field edges restored with native perennial plants in California's Central Valley agricultural region increased floral abundance and potential bee nesting sites, and native bee and syrphid fly abundance and diversity, in comparison to relatively unmanaged edges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wild bee abundance and seed production in conventional, organic, and genetically modified canola
Lora A. Morandin,Mark L. Winston +1 more
TL;DR: Bee abundance was greatest in organic fields, followed by conventional fields, and lowest in GM fields, while pollination deficit was greatest on the other side of the spectrum, including organic fields and GM fields.
