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
How Should Beta-Diversity Inform Biodiversity Conservation?
TL;DR: How beta-diversity is impacted by human activities, including farming, selective logging, urbanization, species invasions, overhunting, and climate change is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The 100th anniversary of the British Ecological Society in 2013 is an opportune moment to reflect on the current status of ecology as a science and look forward to high-light priorities for future work.
Journal ArticleDOI

Catrin Westphal,Riccardo Bommarco,Gabriel Carré,Ellen Lamborn,Nicolas Morison,Theodora Petanidou,Simon G. Potts,Stuart P. M. Roberts,Hajnalka Szentgyörgyi,Thomas Tscheulin,Bernard E. Vaissière,Michal Woyciechowski,Jacobus C. Biesmeijer,William E. Kunin,Josef Settele,Ingolf Steffan-Dewenter +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the performance of six sampling methods (observation plots, pan traps, standardized and variable transect walks, trap nests with reed internodes or paper tubes) that are commonly used across a wide range of geographical regions in Europe and in two habitat types.
