Pollination services from field-scale agricultural diversification may be context-dependent
Diversification of field edges is widely used as a strategy to augment pollinator populations and, in turn, supplement crop pollination needs. Hedgerow plantings, a commonly applied field-scale diversification technique, have been shown to increase wild bee richness within edges and into crop fields; however, their effects on pollination services in mass-flowering, pollinator-dependent crops ty...
متن کاملModelling pollination services across agricultural landscapes.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Crop pollination by bees and other animals is an essential ecosystem service. Ensuring the maintenance of the service requires a full understanding of the contributions of landscape elements to pollinator populations and crop pollination. Here, the first quantitative model that predicts pollinator abundance on a landscape is described and tested. METHODS Using information ...
متن کاملCrop pollination from native bees at risk from agricultural intensification.
Ecosystem services are critical to human survival; in selected cases, maintaining these services provides a powerful argument for conserving biodiversity. Yet, the ecological and economic underpinnings of most services are poorly understood, impeding their conservation and management. For centuries, farmers have imported colonies of European honey bees (Apis mellifera) to fields and orchards fo...
متن کاملScale-dependent bias from multiple-field inflation
We provide a formula for the scaling behaviour of the inflationary bispectrum in the ‘squeezed’ limit where one momentum becomes much smaller than the other two. This determines the scaling of the halo bias at low wavenumber and will be an important observable for the next generation of galaxy surveys. Our formula allows it to be predicted for the first time for a generic inflationary model wit...
متن کاملPollination decline in context.
A vaccine that uses one virus to deliver components of a second virus elicits T cells that recognize noncanonical epitopes. COVER A Classopollis meyeriana conifer pollen grain (~30 micrometers across) preserved in lake sediments deposited just after a massive, volcano-induced extinction event ~200 million years ago. This fossilized pollen grain is representative of the low-diversity plant assem...
