Landscape Structure Is a Major Driver of Bee Functional Diversity in Crops
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Land-use change is having a negative effect on pollinator communities, and these changes in community structure may have unexpected impacts on the functional composition of those communities. Such changes in functional composition may impact the capacity

Mason bees and honey bees synergistically enhance fruit set in sweet cherry orchards
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Mason bees (Osmia spp.) are efficient fruit tree pollinators that can be encouraged to occupy and breed in artificial nesting material. In sweet cherry orchards, they are occasionally used as an alternative managed pollinator as a replacement for or in ...

Effects of Multifunctional Margins Implementation on Biodiversity in Annual Crops
Agronomy, 2021 The most suitable land for agricultural use has been gradually occupied by crops around the world. Large, uninterrupted croplands have been created, while disproportionate amounts of fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides and herbicides are applied on ...

Social-ecological outcomes of agricultural intensification [PDF]
Nature Sustainability, 2018 Land-use intensification in agrarian landscapes is seen as a key strategy to simultaneously feed humanity and use ecosystems sustainably, but the conditions that support positive social-ecological outcomes remain poorly documented. We address this knowledge gap by synthesizing research that analyses how agricultural intensification affects both ...

Generalist Predators Shape Biotic Resistance along a Tropical Island Chain
Plants, 2023 Islands offer exclusive prisms for an experimental investigation of biodiversity x ecosystem function interplay. Given that species in upper trophic layers, e.g., arthropod predators, experience a comparative disadvantage on small, isolated islands, such
