A framework for the support of pollinators in urban areas is developed here, based on five pillars: nesting, flower resources, artificial support, management and society acceptance, with additional key elements from science and society. Society should incorporate strategies for pollinators as in this framework by means of co‐planning with stakeholders,

This study recorded relatively low incidences of crop raiding by fruit bats and highlights the economic benefits of biocontrol by insectivorous bats and birds, which outweighed the yield losses by fruit bats, birds and monkeys. Vertebrate exclusion to prevent crop damage limits access and biocontrol benefits provided by bats and birds.

Our results suggest that while biodiversity can increase in solar parks post‐conversion compared to previous land use, not all taxonomic groups benefit from the land use change. Potential benefits for certain groups (particularly for butterflies and soil‐emergent arthropods) are likely lost due to disturbance during land conversion and solar panel ...

Higher cutting frequency can restore semi‐natural habitat quality on farmland
Rather than productivity per se, the cover of dominant plant species drives plant species richness. Breaking the dominance of these species through defoliation can restore the species richness of the vegetation. Because dominant plant species can tolerate more defoliations at higher productivity, the number of times a vegetation needs to be cut to ...

Landscape and crop diversity contributes to greater yield stability
These findings underscore the importance of promoting crop diversity and maintaining heterogeneous agricultural landscapes, particularly in pollinator‐dependent crops. Promoting diverse agricultural landscapes with balanced heterogeneity can enhance the resilience of agricultural systems to climate change and contribute to long‐term food security ...
