Journal ArticleDOI

The effectiveness of flower strips and hedgerows on pest control, pollination services and crop yield: a quantitative synthesis.

TL;DR: This synthesis identifies several important drivers of variability in effectiveness of plantings: pollination services declined exponentially with distance from plantings, and perennial and older flower strips with higher flowering plant diversity enhanced pollination more effectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drastic historic shifts in bumble-bee community composition in Sweden

TL;DR: A need to develop management schemes that promote not only species-rich but also more evenly composed communities of service-providing organisms is suggested.
Posted ContentDOI

A global synthesis reveals biodiversity-mediated benefits for crop production

Matteo Dainese, +103 more
- 20 Feb 2019 - 
TL;DR: Using a global database from 89 crop systems, the relative importance of abundance and species richness for pollination, biological pest control and final yields in the context of on-going land-use change is partitioned.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neonicotinoid Insecticides and Their Impacts on Bees: A Systematic Review of Research Approaches and Identification of Knowledge Gaps.

TL;DR: It is suggested that effects on the individual bee should be linked to both mechanisms at the sub-individual level and also to the consequences for the colony and wider bee populations as bees are increasingly facing multiple interacting pressures.
Journal ArticleDOI

A global synthesis of the effects of diversified farming systems on arthropod diversity within fields and across agricultural landscapes.

Elinor M. Lichtenberg, +67 more
TL;DR: Both organic farming and in-field plant diversification exerted the strongest effects on pollinators and predators, suggesting these management schemes can facilitate ecosystem service providers without augmenting herbivore (pest) populations.
