Visitation and pollen data concluded that key pollinators of UK strawberry crops were abundant and had long flight periods (e.g. hoverfies, honeybees, wild bees). Pollinators also used non‐crop flowers, suggesting a need for diversity of resources. Abstract Despite the importance of insect pollination to produce marketable fruits, insect pollination ...

Ecological and evolutionary effects of crop diversity decrease yield variability
Results highlight the ecological and evolutionary role of plant interactions in crop mixtures, which can affect yield stability, while also reflecting on the importance of climate and resource availability in modifying the diversity‐stability relationship.

Whereas previous work investigates how the amount of chemical diversity in a plant population influences insect ecology, our results indicate that local spatial distribution of diversity is equally important. A key implication of this work is the potential to design cultivar mixtures spatially, at the movement scale of target organisms, to create more ...

Tapping birdwatchers to promote bird‐friendly coffee consumption and conserve birds
Abstract Though coffee was traditionally grown as an understory crop beneath mature trees (i.e. ‘shade‐grown’ coffee), most farms have been converted to full‐sun monocultures over time, which fail to support ecosystem services or biodiversity. The conversion from shade‐ to sun‐grown coffee has prompted the development of environmentally focused ...

Abstract Tropical montane forests in the Andes are subjected to deforestation and subsequent transformation into pastures. Abandoned pastures are frequently reforested by planting monoculture timber plantations, resulting in reduced aboveground diversity and changes in soil characteristics compared to primary forests.
