Synthesis of Pollinator‐Friendly Management in European Protected Areas

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Effectiveness of pollinator‐friendly management in European protected areas. Abstract Pollinators are important to humans and nature due to their role in ecosystem functioning and services. Research on the effects of pollinator management in protected areas is insufficient compared with that on farmlands and urban areas, potentially hindering ...

Evaluation of agroecology efforts: Impact assessment survey of pro-soil project

We are conducting farm-household surveys as part of the CGIAR’s Agroecology initiative. This initiative aims to develop and scale agroecological innovations with smallscale farmers in 8 low- and middle-income countries in Asia, Africa and US region. Here,

Codesigning synergies among ecological, social, and economic benefits with landscape‐scale agri‐environmental schemes

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Global farmland biodiversity is declining rapidly, threatening both natural ecosystems and agricultural production. Although agri‐environmental schemes incentivize farmers to adopt environmentally friendly measures, the spatial mismatch between their local implementation and the landscape‐scale habitat requirements of farmland species has been

Assessing Agroecology Terms for North African Countries: A Literature Review

Proceedings
Conventional agricultural techniques cannot fulfill the requirements of a sustainable food value chain. Agroecology can be a great alternative practice for transforming the current agricultural systems.

Tachinidae (Diptera) as Floral Visitors and Pollinators in Natural and Managed Systems

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We review the roles of bristle flies (Tachinidae) as pollinators in natural and managed systems. We find that most tachinid genera visit flowers and that floral‐adapted mouthparts have evolved repeatedly many times in the family. We review patterns of floral specificity and assess the efficacy of tachinids as pollinators with case studies.

Food resources are more important than nesting resources for explaining wild bee diversity in urban gardens Nahrungsressourcen haben einen größeren Einfluss auf die Wildbienendiversität in urbanen Gärten als das Nistangebot

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Urban community gardens showed a high wild bee diversity with 168 recorded species, representing roughly 30% of Germany's wild bees, including threatened species like Osmia mitis and Coelioxys lanceolata. Floral resources, not nesting resources or habitat availability, were the main drivers for wild bee taxonomic and functional diversity.
