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
Ecological intensification: harnessing ecosystem services for food security
TL;DR: Research efforts and investments are particularly needed to reduce existing yield gaps by integrating context-appropriate bundles of ecosystem services into crop production systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Persistent negative effects of pesticides on biodiversity and biological control potential on European farmland
Flavia Geiger,Jan Bengtsson,Frank Berendse,Wolfgang W. Weisser,Mark C. Emmerson,Manuel B. Morales,Piotr Ceryngier,Jaan Liira,Teja Tscharntke,Camilla Winqvist,Sönke Eggers,Riccardo Bommarco,Tomas Pärt,Vincent Bretagnolle,Manuel Plantegenest,Lars W.

Goedhart,Pablo Inchausti +27 more
TL;DR: Of the 13 components of intensification the authors measured, use of insecticides and fungicides had consistent negative effects on biodiversity, and organic farming and other agri-environment schemes aiming to mitigate the negative effects are found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extinction debt: a challenge for biodiversity conservation.
Mikko Kuussaari,Riccardo Bommarco,Risto K. Heikkinen,Aveliina Helm,Jochen Krauss,Regina Lindborg,Erik Öckinger,Meelis Pärtel,Joan Pino,Ferran Rodà,Constantí Stefanescu,Tiit Teder,Martin Zobel,Ingolf Steffan-Dewenter +13 more
TL;DR: Standardized long-term monitoring, more high-quality empirical studies on different taxa and ecosystems and further development of analytical methods will help to better quantify extinction debt and protect biodiversity.
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.
