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

A global quantitative synthesis of local and landscape effects on wild bee pollinators in agroecosystems

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

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.
