Globally, pollinating insects face significant pressure, largely due to intensively managed agricultural systems. There has been considerable focus on the provision of resources for pollinators in landscapes, but without understanding how existing farmland habitats affect there is a risk these conservation actions could fail. The aim this study was explore relationships between quantity, diversity, and quality on-farm with pollinator communities. To meet aim, pollinator, floral habitat...
Some pollinator species found in agricultural areas are strongly dependent on surrounding of natural or semi-natural habitats to nest and/or forage. Landscape structure has been shown influence communities and understanding how landscape affects farmland pollinators can improve Agri-Environment Schemes (AES). This study explored metrics affect the presence associated with woody vegetation Republic Ireland. Two regions were selected, collected using pan traps placed farm linear features....
