Protective covers (i.e., glasshouses, netting enclosures, and polytunnels) are increasingly used in crop production to enhance quality, yield, efficiency. However, many protected crops require insect pollinators achieve optimal pollination there is no consensus about how best manage these environments. We conducted a systematic literature review synthesise knowledge the effect of protective on pollinator health services identified 290 relevant studies. Bees were dominant taxon systems (90%),...
Mitigating pollinator declines in agriculturally dominated landscapes to safeguard pollination services requires the involvement of farmers and their willingness adopt pollinator-friendly management.However, farmer knowledge, perceptions, actions support on-farm pollinators alignment with science-based knowledge recommendations are rarely evaluated.To close this gap, we interviewed 560 from 11 countries around world, cultivating at least one four widely grown pollinator-dependent crops...
The drone fly (Eristalis tenax) pollinates many crops and is found almost worldwide. Its successful management as a field-crop pollinator would provide an additional option to augment bee pollination. We reviewed literature assess their potential. A search was conducted for information on drone-fly abundance across New Zealand crops, effectiveness, lifecycle-requirements potential mass rearing. Relevant then evaluated the feasibility, benefits limitations of management. Eristalis tenax...
Abstract Context Landscape simplification is a main driver of insect decline, threatening crop pollination services. Changes in functional features simplified agroecosystems may impact the abundance wild pollinators. Objectives Here, we studied whether different pollinator groups based on life-history are differentially associated to landscape features, and how this affects service delivery. Methods Using window traps highly agroecosystem, surveyed abundances diversity with: (1) bare...
