Wild pollinators enhance fruit set of crops regardless of honey bee abundance
The diversity and abundance of wild insect pollinators have declined in many agricultural
landscapes. Whether such declines reduce crop yields, or are mitigated by managed …

Pollination and other ecosystem services produced by mobile organisms: a conceptual framework for the effects of land‐use change
Many ecosystem services are delivered by organisms that depend on habitats that are
segregated spatially or temporally from the location where services are provided. Management of …

A global quantitative synthesis of local and landscape effects on wild bee pollinators in agroecosystems
Bees provide essential pollination services that are potentially affected both by local farm
management and the surrounding landscape. To better understand these different factors, we …
