Planted pollinator habitat in agroecosystems: How does the pollinator community respond?

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Pollinators are important both ecologically and economically. Nonetheless, documented pollinator population decline threatens ecosystem functioning and human well-being.

Regional Differences in U.S. Consumer Preferences for Native Woody Shrubs With Varying Aesthetic Characteristics

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.

Alternative flowering crops as potential food sources for beneficial arthropods

Journal für Kulturpflanzen, 2017
Various flowering crops (buckwheat, caraway, carrot, faba bean, flax, lupine, milk thistle, mustard, parsnip, phacelia) were evaluated for their suitability in providing nutritional resources for natural enemies and pollinators in small scale field ...

Cuticular hydrocarbons of alpine bumble bees (Hymenoptera: Bombus) are species-specific, but show little evidence of elevation-related climate adaptation

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Alpine bumble bees are the most important pollinators in temperate mountain ecosystems. Although they are used to encounter small-scale successions of very different climates in the mountains, many species respond sensitively to climatic changes ...

Pattern of population structuring between Belgian and Estonian bumblebees [PDF]

, 2019
Several population genetic studies investigated the extent of gene flow and population connectivity in bumblebees. In general, no restriction in gene flow is considered for mainland populations of common bumblebee species.

Advancing European Plant Variety Registration: Data‐Driven Insights and Stakeholder Perspectives

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient plant variety registration is crucial for fostering innovation in the European Union, yet the current regulatory framework is complex and faces calls for reform. This study provides data‐driven evidence to inform the ongoing legislative debate by employing a mixed‐methods approach.

Multiyear study of pollinator efficiency and importance of a wide array of pollinators in a field-cultivated strawberry plot.

PLoS ONE
Using wild pollinators to pollinate crops without introducing human-managed pollinators is cost-effective and friendly to native ecosystems. To maintain stable, good-quality yields in crops that mainly use wild pollinators, it is essential to determine ...

Predicting Climate Change Impacts on Crop Pollinators in Brazil

Sociobiology
Pollinators are critical elements of biodiversity as they participate in the reproduction of plant species. Due to their importance in food production, they are one of the most studied groups of ecosystem service providers globally.
