insect pollination. This essential ecosystem service is provided by a wide range of managed …

Many insect species provide essential pollination services. However, the amount of pollen
deposited onto a stigma when visiting a flower ('single visit pollen deposition', SVD) can vary …

Wild and managed bees are well documented as effective pollinators of global crops of
economic importance. However, the contributions by pollinators other than bees have been …

Aim Pollination services are at risk from land use change and intensification, but responses
of individual pollinator species are often variable, making it difficult to detect and understand …

Australian horticulture relies heavily on the introduced managed honey bee, Apis mellifera
Linnaeus 1758 (Hymenoptera: Apidae), to pollinate crops. Given the risks associated with …

Protective covers (ie, glasshouses, netting enclosures, and polytunnels) are increasingly
used in crop production to enhance crop quality, yield, and production efficiency. However …

Pollination is an essential ecosystem service for pollinator-dependent crops and plant
communities. Apis mellifera L. is by far the most commonly used species to obtain this …

Protecting, establishing and managing biodiverse semi-natural habitats is one strategy
within the concept of ecological intensification of agriculture that supports insect pollinator …

Bees are known to provide pollination services to a wide range of crops, yet flies are rarely
included in estimates of function. As bees and flies differ markedly in their life history …

The drone fly (Eristalis tenax) pollinates many crops and is found almost worldwide. Its
