Bees and butterflies generally favor open forest habitats regardless of forest type,
geographic region, or methods used to create these habitats. Dense shrub layers of native …

Pollinators-insects, birds, bats, and other animals that carry pollen from the male to the
female parts of flowers for plant reproduction-are an essential part of natural and agricultural …

Land use is known to reduce the diversity of species and complexity of biotic interactions. In
theory, interaction networks can be used to predict the sensitivity of species against co …

Summary 1 The recent dramatic decline in farmland biodiversity is often attributed to
agricultural intensification and structural changes in the agricultural landscape. One …

Understanding the drivers of population abundance across species and sites is crucial for
effective conservation management. At present, we lack a framework for predicting which …

Roadsides form potential habitats for several grassland species adapted to regular mowing
management. We studied the communities of butterflies and day-active moths in 51 sites …

The relationship between resource availability and biodiversity of consumers has gained
particular attention with the increasing loss of biodiversity. We evaluated resource …

Establishing wildflower strips has been suggested as an effective measure to promote
pollination services, pest control or general insect biodiversity, but little is known about the …

Nature is organized into complex, dynamical networks of species and their interactions,
which may influence diversity and stability. However, network research is, generally, short …

Tropical South America is rich in different groups of pollinators, but the biotic and abiotic
factors determining the geographical distribution of their species richness are poorly …
