Journal ArticleDOI
Seed coating with a neonicotinoid insecticide negatively affects wild bees
Maj Rundlöf,Georg K.S. Andersson,Riccardo Bommarco,Ingemar Fries,Veronica Hederström,Lina Herbertsson,Ove Jonsson,Björn K. Klatt,Thorsten Rahbek Pedersen,Johanna Yourstone,Henrik G. Smith +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown that a commonly used insecticide seed coating in a flowering crop can have serious consequences for wild bees, and the contribution of pesticides to the global decline of wild bees may have been underestimated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stability of pollination services decreases with isolation from natural areas despite honey bee visits
Lucas Alejandro Garibaldi,Lucas Alejandro Garibaldi,Ingolf Steffan-Dewenter,Claire Kremen,Juan M. Morales,Riccardo Bommarco,Saul A. Cunningham,Luísa G. Carvalheiro,Natacha P. Chacoff,Jan H. 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
Delivery of crop pollination services is an insufficient argument for wild pollinator conservation

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
Habitat fragmentation causes immediate and time‐delayed biodiversity loss at different trophic levels
Jochen Krauss,Riccardo Bommarco,Moisès Guardiola,Risto K. Heikkinen,Aveliina Helm,Mikko Kuussaari,Regina Lindborg,Erik Öckinger,Meelis Pärtel,Joan Pino,Juha Pöyry,Katja M. Raatikainen,Anu Sang,Constantí Stefanescu,Tiit Teder,Martin Zobel,Ingolf Steffan-Dewenter +16 more
TL;DR: Present-day species richness of long-lived vascular plant specialists was better explained by past than current landscape patterns, indicating an extinction debt, while short-lived butterfly specialists showed no evidence for an extinction Debt at a time scale of c.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid evolution of an invasive plant
TL;DR: Results suggest that introduced plants are evolving adaptations to broad-scale environmental conditions in their introduced range.
