Modern strawberry (Fragaria× ananass a Duch.) cultivars are hermaphrodite and have fertile
flowers, with the anthers releasing viable pollen. Cultivars are self-compatible and do not …

Aim Most of the world's food crops are dependent on pollinators. However, there is a great
deal of uncertainty in the strength of this relationship, especially regarding the relative …

Aim Global change, especially landscape simplification, is a main driver of species loss that
can alter ecological interaction networks, with potentially severe consequences to …

Simple Summary Functional redundancy, the coexistence of species with similar functional
roles, is of critical importance for ecosystem function stability. However, drivers of functional …

Motivated by accelerating anthropogenic extinctions, decades of biodiversity–ecosystem
function (BEF) experiments show that ecosystem function declines with species loss from …

Whether more species are required to maintain ecosystem functioning as spatial scale
increases or across environmental gradients has frequently been studied by examining …

The spatial insurance hypothesis states that at landscape scales with environmental
variability between different places, biodiversity increases ecosystem functioning if species …

It is widely accepted that rare species are the first species to become extinct after human-
induced disturbances. However, the functional importance of rare species still needs to be …

Agricultural intensification and the conversion of natural landscapes into annual cropping
systems have contributed to declines in pollinator abundance and biodiversity. Increasing …

Billions of years of evolution have given us a planet that supports a remarkable diversity of
life. Estimates for the number of Eukaryotic species frequently number in the millions and the …
