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

Opposing effects of competitive exclusion on the phylogenetic structure of communities

TL;DR: It is argued that two types of species differences determine competitive exclusion with opposing effects on relatedness patterns, which means that competition can sometimes eliminate more different and less related taxa, even when the traits underlying the relevant species differences are phylogenetically conserved.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rethinking Community Assembly through the Lens of Coexistence Theory

TL;DR: It is shown that experimental manipulations of the abiotic or biotic environment, assessments of trait-phylogeny-environment relationships, and investigations of frequency-dependent population growth all suggest strong influences of stabilizing niche differences and fitness differences on the outcome of plant community assembly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss of functional diversity under land use intensification across multiple taxa.

TL;DR: Analysis of changes in species richness and functional diversity at varying agricultural land use intensity levels in plant, bird, and mammal communities finds declines were steeper than predicted by species number and changes in FD were indistinguishable from changes inspecies richness.
