Assessing pollinators’ use of floral resource subsidies in agri-environment schemes: An illustration using Phacelia tanacetifolia and honeybees
Sprague, R.; Boyer, Stephane; Stevenson, G. M.; Wratten, S.D. (2016-11-15)BACKGROUND: Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) are frequently used in agriculture for pollination services because of their abundance, generalist floral preferences, ease of management and hive transport. However, their ... -
Can ecosystem-scale translocations mitigate the impact of climate change on terrestrial biodiversity? : promises, pitfalls, and possibilities
Boyer, Stephane; Case, Bradley S.; Lefort, Marie-Caroline; Waterhouse, B.R.; Wratten, S.D. (F1000 Research Ltd, 2016-03-07)Because ecological interactions are the first components of the ecosystem to be impacted by climate change, future forms of threatened-species and ecosystem management should aim at conserving complete, functioning communities ... -
Scarcity of ecosystem services : an experimental manipulation of declining pollination rates and its economic consequences for agriculture
Sandhu, Harpinder; Waterhouse, B.R.; Boyer, Stephane; Wratten, S.D. (PeerJ, 2016-07-05)Ecosystem services (ES) such as pollination are vital for the continuous supply of food to a growing human population, but the decline in populations of insect pollinators worldwide poses a threat to food and nutritional ...
