Interspecific crop diversity (eg, intercropping) has been documented to promote
sustainability in agroecological systems with benefits for pollination services and insect …

Highbush blueberry (Vaccinium spp.) is a globally important fruit crop that depends on insect-
mediated pollination to produce quality fruit and commercially viable yields. Pollination …

Crop pollination generally increases with pollinator diversity and wild pollinator visitation. To
optimize crop pollination, it is necessary to investigate the pollination contribution of different …

The continued expansion of pollinator-dependent crops increases our reliance on insect
pollinators, with wild pollinators providing a considerable proportion of pollination services …

Pollinator conservation has become a key challenge to achieve sustainable agricultural
landscapes and safeguard food supplies. Considering the potential negative effects of …

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 …

One of the most important challenges facing global agriculture is to ensure an adequate,
stable food supply while conserving soil, water and biodiversity. The yield stability of …

Optimal fruit production from many tree crops relies on the transfer of cross-pollen between
trees of different cultivars rather than the transfer of self-pollen between trees of the same …

Intensively managed agricultural landscapes have degraded the provisioning of diverse and
continuous forage and shelter habitats for arthropods and weakened the delivery of …

Many food crops rely on pollination by animals. Historically, wind and wild organisms
provided pollination as an ecosystem service that varied across agroecological zones …
