Intersection between biodiversity conservation, agroecology, and ecosystem services

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of local and landscape level drivers on beneficial insects, as well as on the ecosystem services they provide, are discussed. But the effects depend on taxonomical or functional groups and landscape context.

Native Solitary Bees Provide Economically Significant Pollination Services to Confection Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus L.) (Asterales: Asteraceae) Grown Across the Northern Great Plains.

TL;DR: There was, however, some variation in the extent of pollinator benefits across locations and plant genotypes, and such variation was significantly related to pollinator visitation rates, further highlighting the value of pollinators for confection sunflowers.

Disentangling the diversity of definitions for the pollination ecosystem service and associated estimation methods

TL;DR: This paper aimed to disentangle the diversity of definitions of the pollination service along with their associated indicators and field methods in the ecosystem service literature, and identified four main pollination ES definitions that can be separated in two categories.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental quantification of insect pollination on sunflower yield, reconciling plant and field scale estimates

TL;DR: The results show, to the best of the knowledge, the first evidence of the key role of pollinators in sunflower production at field scale in real farming conditions, and underscore the need to maintain suitable conditions for pollinator in agricultural landscapes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nature’s contribution to people as a framework for examining socioecological systems: The case of pastoral systems

TL;DR: The Nature's Contribution to People (NCP) framework as discussed by the authors is based on the Ecosystem Services (ES) concept and aims to incorporate social sciences more inclusively into economic and ecological aspects of ES.

Information Theory and an Extention of the Maximum Likelihood Principle

H. Akaike
TL;DR: The classical maximum likelihood principle can be considered to be a method of asymptotic realization of an optimum estimate with respect to a very general information theoretic criterion to provide answers to many practical problems of statistical model fitting.

Generalized linear mixed models: a practical guide for ecology and evolution

TL;DR: The use (and misuse) of GLMMs in ecology and evolution are reviewed, estimation and inference are discussed, and 'best-practice' data analysis procedures for scientists facing this challenge are summarized.

Importance of pollinators in changing landscapes for world crops

TL;DR: It is found that fruit, vegetable or seed production from 87 of the leading global food crops is dependent upon animal pollination, while 28 crops do not rely upon animalPollination, however, global production volumes give a contrasting perspective.
