TL;DR: This study provides large-scale, multitrophic, cross-regional evidence that increasing crop heterogeneity can be an effective way to increase biodiversity in agricultural landscapes without taking land out of agricultural production.

TL;DR: It is found that bee ecological traits shifted at the community‐level in association with landscape gradients, whereas species‐level associations among bee traits and phylogenetic clustering in bee communities were of only minor importance in determining such shifts.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that flowering period alone is a poor indicator of plant suitability to insects, where no relationship existed between this and attraction to insects overall, and data suggest that certain flowering plants are more likely to be of general insect conservation value and/or benefit to functional insect groups than others.

TL;DR: In this article, the relative effects of compositional and configurational crop heterogeneity on within-field plant diversity components were investigated using a dataset from a cross-continent collaborative project covering 1,451 agricultural fields within 432 landscapes in Europe and Canada.

TL;DR: This study shows that organic farming reduces the spatiotemporal fluctuations in bumblebee and butterfly species richness and contributes to maintaining the within and between-year stability of bumblebees and butterflies in agricultural landscapes.
