Challenges in Modelling Spatio‐Temporal Climatic Correlates of Local Losses of Wild Bees Using Dynamic Occupancy Models

Gary D. Powney, James M. Bullock, Robin J. Boyd, Claire Carvell et autres

ABSTRACT Aim Impacts of climate change on biodiversity are well documented. Much of the evidence linking climate change to species distribution changes derives from studies using long‐term climate averages in a correlative spatial framework. While useful, these static species distribution models (SDMs) …

Spatio‐temporal shifts in British wild bees in response to changing climate

Chris Wyver, Simon G. Potts, Mike Edwards, Rowan Edwards et autres

Climate plays a major role in determining where species occur, and when they are active throughout the year. In the face of a changing climate, many species are shifting their ranges poleward. Many species are also shifting their emergence phenology. Wild bees …

Climate‐driven phenological shifts in emergence dates of British bees

Chris Wyver, Simon G. Potts, Mike Edwards, Rowan Edwards et autres

Climate change has a diverse range of impacts on wild bees, including their phenology or timing of life history events. Climate-driven phenological shifts can not only impact individuals at species level but also threaten the vital pollination service that wild bees provide …

Climate driven shifts in the synchrony of apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) flowering and pollinating bee flight phenology

Chris Wyver, Simon G. Potts, Rowan Edwards, Mike Edwards et autres

The phenology, or timing of key life-history events, of many globally important crops and the insects that pollinate them are shifting because of the changing climate. Where these temporal shifts occur at different rates or in different directions, it induces a risk …

Addressing pollination deficits in orchard crops through habitat management for wild pollinators

Michael P. D. Garratt, Rory S. O’Connor, Claire Carvell, Michelle T. Fountain et autres

There is increasing evidence that farmers in many areas are achieving below maximum yields due to insufficient pollination. Practical and effective approaches are needed to maintain wild pollinator populations within agroecosystems so they can deliver critical pollination services that underpin crop production. …

Selected flowering plants as a habitat for pollinators and natural enemies in field margins of a watermelon crop—implications for crop yield

Filitsa Karamaouna, Vaya Kati, Leonidas Economou, Gerasimos Troyanos et autres

The practice of field margins management using mixtures of selected plants to provide habitats for pollinators and natural enemies of pests, and possible impact on crop yield, was studied for two mixtures (mixture A: Borago officinalis, Coriandrum sativum, Glebionis coronaria; mixture B: …

Establishment and management of wildflower areas for insect pollinators in commercial orchards

Claire Carvell, Nadine Mitschunas, Rachel McDonald, Sarah Hulmes et autres

Sown wildflower areas are increasingly recommended as an agri-environmental intervention measure, but evidence for their success is limited to particular insect groups or hampered by the challenges of establishing seed mixes and maintaining flower abundance over time. We conducted a replicated experiment …

Sown Wildflowers Enhance Habitats of Pollinators and Beneficial Arthropods in a Tomato Field Margin

Vaya Kati, Filitsa Karamaouna, Leonidas Economou, Photini V. Mylona et autres

We evaluated the capacity of selected plants, sown along a processing tomato field margin in central Greece and natural vegetation, to attract beneficial and Hymenoptera pollinating insects and questioned whether they can distract pollinators from crop flowers. Measurements of flower cover and …

Historical, local and landscape factors determine the success of grassland restoration for arthropods

Ben A. Woodcock, Richard F. Pywell, Nicholas A. Macgregor, Mike Edwards et autres

In Europe, extensively managed grasslands have undergone large-scale declines due to intensive agriculture and abandonment. Their restoration supports arthropod biodiversity within farming systems. We investigated limiting factors for arthropod establishment during grassland restoration across a chronosequence of 52 restoration sites established by …

Pollinator monitoring more than pays for itself

Tom D. Breeze, Alison Bailey, Kelvin Balcombe, Tom Brereton et autres

Abstract Resilient pollination services depend on sufficient abundance of pollinating insects over time. Currently, however, most knowledge about the status and trends of pollinators is based on changes in pollinator species richness and distribution only. Systematic, long‐term monitoring of pollinators is urgently …

Meta-analysis reveals that pollinator functional diversity and abundance enhance crop pollination and yield

Ben A. Woodcock, Michael P. D. Garratt, Gary D. Powney, Rosalind F. Shaw et autres

How insects promote crop pollination remains poorly understood in terms of the contribution of functional trait differences between species. We used meta-analyses to test for correlations between community abundance, species richness and functional trait metrics with oilseed rape yield, a globally important …
