Roberts,Guy Rodet,Josef Settele,Ingolf Steffan-Dewenter,Hajnalka Szentgyörgyi,Thomas Tscheulin,Catrin Westphal,Michal Woyciechowski,Bernard E. Vaissière +16 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of landscape context and habitat type on bee communities in annual entomophilous crops in Europe was assessed using the CORINE land cover classification and multivariate and regression analyses to quantify the impact of landscape features on bee abundance and diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The potential for indirect effects between co-flowering plants via shared pollinators depends on resource abundance, accessibility and relatedness

TL;DR: The potential for one plant species to influence another indirectly via shared pollinators was greater for plants whose resources were more abundant (higher floral unit number and nectar sugar content) and more accessible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing bee species richness in two Mediterranean communities: importance of habitat type and sampling techniques

Kunin,Thomas Tscheulin,Ellen Lamborn,Ellen Lamborn,Theodora Petanidou +22 more
TL;DR: To assess the total bee species richness in bee diversity hotspots, such as the studied habitats, it is suggested a combination of transect walks conducted by trained bee collectors and pan trap sampling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ten policies for pollinators

TL;DR: This work extends beyond the IPBES report, and suggests 10 policies that governments should seriously consider to protect pollinators and secure pollination services, and are those most likely to succeed.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Pollinator species with traits matching those of the focal crop, as well as the enhancement of pollinator richness and evenness, will increase crop yield beyond current practices, and field practitioners can predict and manage agroecosystems for pollination services based on knowledge of just a few traits that are known for a wide range of flower visitor species.
