Worldwide, human appropriation of ecosystems is disrupting plant–pollinator communities
and pollination function through habitat conversion and landscape homogenisation …

Agricultural intensification has led to the decrease of the diversity of wild and domestic
pollinators. For instance, honeybees declined by 59% in 61 years in the USA. About 35% of …

Human land use threatens global biodiversity and compromises multiple ecosystem
functions critical to food production. Whether crop yield–related ecosystem services can be …

In recent years, an intense debate about the environmental risks posed by neonicotinoids, a
group of widely used, neurotoxic insecticides, has been joined. When these systemic …

Recent concern over global pollinator declines has led to considerable research on the
effects of pesticides on bees,,,,. Although pesticides are typically not encountered at lethal …

Mass‐flowering crops (MFC s) are increasingly cultivated and might influence pollinator
communities in MFC fields and nearby semi‐natural habitats (SNH s). Across six European …

Since the rise of agriculture, human populations have domesticated plant and animal
species to fulfil their needs. With modern agriculture, a limited number of these species has …

A summary is provided of recent advances in the natural science evidence base concerning
the effects of neonicotinoid insecticides on insect pollinators in a format (a 'restatement') …

Bumblebees are exposed to pesticides applied for crop protection while foraging on treated
plants, with increasing evidence suggesting that this sublethal exposure has implications for …

While addition of managed honeybees (Apis mellifera) improves pollination of many
entomophilous crops, it is unknown if it simultaneously suppresses the densities of wild …
