Agricultural intensification and abandonment of traditional agricultural practices are main
drivers of current insect declines. The resulting loss of feeding and nesting opportunities has …

The expansion and intensification of agriculture are the main causes of current insect
declines. Pollinators like cavity-nesting bees can be limited by reduced nesting and feeding …

Agricultural intensification is a major driver of wild bee decline. Vineyards may be inhabited
by plant and animal species, especially when the inter‐row space is vegetated with …

Wild bees are threatened by multiple interacting stressors, such as habitat loss, land use
change, parasites, and pathogens. However, vineyards with vegetated inter‐rows can offer …

Vineyard inter-rows can provide habitats for a range of plant and animal species especially
when covered with vegetation. However, frequent tillage results in the degradation of habitat …

Context Wild bees are important pollinators for wild and cultivated plants. Besides other
causes, their decline has been linked to land-use change such as urbanisation. In contrast …

Agricultural intensification leads to large-scale loss of habitats offering food and nesting sites
for bees. This has resulted in a severe decline of wild bee diversity and abundance during …

Although most of the wild bee species are ground-nesting, little is known about their nesting
requirements and the conservation measures to promote ground-nesting bees. Calcareous …

Although grapevine is a crop that produces fruit without insect pollination, vineyards may
provide resources for bees and other pollinators. Flower resources such as pollen and …

Perennial wildflower strips (WFS) are known to have positive effects on wild bees in
intensively used agricultural landscapes. Little knowledge exists, however, about the drivers …
