CONTEXT As elsewhere in Western Europe, large scale intensive agriculture dominates the
landscape of the Netherlands. Grassland for dairy production occupies more than a quarter …

Declining pollinator populations could threaten global food production, especially if current
crop yields are limited by insufficient pollinator visitation to flowers, in a phenomenon …

Despite the crucial importance of biotic pollination for many crops, land managers rarely
monitor the levels of crop pollination needed to guide farming decisions. The few existing …

Agricultural intensification has resulted in a decline in insect biodiversity and threatens the
provision of valuable ecosystem services. Agri-environment schemes (AESs) have been …

Pollinators are critical for agricultural production and food security, leading to many ongoing
surveys of pollinators (especially bees) in crop and adjacent landscapes. These surveys …

Homogenisation and intensification of agricultural ecosystems are among the most
important threats to biodiversity, linked to declines in pollinators, soil biota and ecosystem …

To increase pollinator populations, international policy targets minimum levels of
seminatural habitat cover, but it is unknown whether improving the quality of existing …

Enhancing the diversity of mass‐flowering crops (ie crop diversity) in agricultural landscapes
is often proposed as a measure to favour pollinators and pollination, but it is uncertain …

Reconciling biodiversity conservation with agricultural production requires a better
understanding of how key ecosystem service providing species respond to agricultural …

The environmental filtering of species traits can influence the identity of their interaction
partners and the contribution of species interactions to ecosystem functioning, but the extent …
