Journal ArticleDOI
Global pollinator declines: trends, impacts and drivers.
Simon G. Potts,Jacobus C. Biesmeijer,Claire Kremen,Peter J. Neumann,Oliver Schweiger,William E. Kunin +5 more
TL;DR: The nature and extent of reported declines, and the potential drivers of pollinator loss are described, including habitat loss and fragmentation, agrochemicals, pathogens, alien species, climate change and the interactions between them are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parallel Declines in Pollinators and Insect-Pollinated Plants in Britain and the Netherlands
Jacobus C. Biesmeijer,Stuart P. M. Roberts,Menno Reemer,Ralf Ohlemüller,Michael Edwards,T.M.J. Peeters,T.M.J. Peeters,A. P. Schaffers,Simon G. Potts,R.M.J.C. Kleukers,Chris D. Thomas,Josef Settele,William E. Kunin +12 more
TL;DR: Evidence of declines (pre-versus post-1980) in local bee diversity in Britain and the Netherlands is found and a causal connection between local extinctions of functionally linked plant and pollinator species is strongly suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Williams,Alexandra-Maria Klein +54 more
TL;DR: Overall, wild insects pollinated crops more effectively; an increase in wild insect visitation enhanced fruit set by twice as much as an equivalent increase in honey bee visitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological intensification: harnessing ecosystem services for food security
TL;DR: Research efforts and investments are particularly needed to reduce existing yield gaps by integrating context-appropriate bundles of ecosystem services into crop production systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pollination and other ecosystem services produced by mobile organisms: a conceptual framework for the effects of land-use change.
Claire Kremen,Neal M. Williams,Marcelo A. Aizen,Barbara Gemmill-Herren,Gretchen LeBuhn,Robert L. Minckley,Laurence Packer,Simon G. Potts,T'ai H. Roulston,Ingolf Steffan-Dewenter,Diego P. Vázquez,Rachael Winfree,Laurie Adams,Elizabeth E. Crone,Sarah S. Greenleaf,Timothy H. Keitt,Alexandra-Maria Klein,James Regetz,Taylor H. Ricketts +18 more
TL;DR: A conceptual model for exploring how one mobile-agent-based ecosystem service (MABES), pollination, is affected by land-use change, and then generalize the model to other MABES is developed.
