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 …

Wild insects provide pollination services in agroecosystems. Avocado is an economically
important crop grown in the Chilean Mediterranean climate region and exported worldwide …

Flower strips can promote and conserve beneficial insects in agroecosystems. Knowing
which groups are favoured and which plant traits affect visitation rates by beneficial insects …

Background: Chile is the second largest avocado producer in the world. However, there
have been few studies on interactions between native bees and avocado pollination in a …

Pollination services from insects are important for higher yield and better fruit quality in
avocado (Persea americana Mill.). Measuring pollinator effectiveness is significant for …

Insect pollination increases the yield and quality of many crops and therefore, understanding
the role of insect pollinators in crop production is necessary to sustainably increase yields …

Simple Summary Insect pollinators such as bees contribute to crop production, food security,
ecosystem stability and biodiversity in agroecosystems. However, intensification of …

In intensive agricultural landscapes semi-natural habitats for pollinators are often limited,
although willingness to establish pollinator habitat is increasing among farmers. A common …

The engineering of flowering agricultural field borders has emerged as a research and
policy priority to mitigate threats to pollinators. Studies have, however, rarely addressed the …

Agricultural expansion and intensification negatively affect pollinator populations and has
led to reductions in pollination services across multiple cropping systems. As a result …
