Wild insect diversity increases inter-annual stability in global crop pollinato...
Senapathi, Deepa; Fründ, Jochen; Albrecht, Matthias; Garratt, Michael P. D.; Kleijn, David; Pickles, Brian J.; Potts, Simon G.; An, JiandongWhile an increasing number of studies indicate that the range, diversity and abundance of many wild pollinators has declined, the global area of pollinator-dependent crops has significantly increased over the last few decades. Crop pollination studies to date have mainly focused on either identifying different guilds pollinating various crops, or on factors driving spatial changes and turnover observed in these...
A critical analysis of the potential for EU Common Agricultural Policy measures...
Cole, Lorna J; Kleijn, David; Dicks, Lynn V; Stout, Jane C; Potts, Simon G; Albrecht, Matthias; Balzan, Mario V; Bartomeus, Ignasi; Bebeli, Penelope J.Agricultural intensification and associated loss of high-quality habitats are key drivers of insect pollinator declines. With the aim of decreasing the environmental impact of agriculture, the 2014 EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) defined a set of habitat and landscape features (Ecological Focus Areas: EFAs) farmers could select from as a requirement to receive basic farm payments. To inform the post-2020 CA...
