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.

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.

TL;DR: Using a global database from 89 studies (with 1475 locations), the relative importance of species richness, abundance, and dominance for pollination; biological pest control; and final yields in the context of ongoing land-use change is partitioned.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a survey of the existing research on the characteristics of urban agricultural management and their potential to support ecosystem service delivery, and examine: (1) biodiversity patterns in UA, (2) ecosystem services provided by UA, and (3) the challenges of promoting UA systems that support biodiversity and ecosystem services.

TL;DR: Although it is clear that there are ecological and socioeconomic benefits associated with shaded coffee, the many challenges and future research priorities needed to link sustainable coffee management with sustainable livelihoods are exposed.
