Ground flora of field boundary dry stone walls in the Burren, Ireland
(2020)
Despite the fact that field boundary (dry) stone walls are globally common in rural landscapes, very little research has been carried out regarding them. Dry stone walls may act as refuges for a range of plants and animals, ...
The database of the PREDICTS (Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems) project
(2016)
The PREDICTS project—Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems (www.predicts.org.uk)—has collated from published studies a large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples ...
Principles of cross congruence do not apply in naturally disturbed dune slack habitats: Implications for conservation monitoring
(2018)
Cross congruence, where diversity or composition of multiple species follow similar patterns, underlies the use of indicator species in conservation practice. However, there are circumstances in which cross congruence has ...
Globalisation and pollinators: Pollinator declines are an economic threat to global food systems
(2022)
Trade in animal-pollinated crops plays an important role in global food systems: in many low-income countries, export of pollinated crops such as coffee and cocoa plays a significant role in livelihoods, while food systems ...
Meta-analysis reveals that pollinator functional diversity and abundance enhance crop pollination and yield
(2019)
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 ...
A critical analysis of the potential for EU Common Agricultural Policy measures to support wild pollinators on farmland
(2020)
1. Agricultural intensification and associated loss of high-quality habitats are key drivers of insect pollinator declines. With the aim of decreasing the environmental impact of agriculture, the 2014 EU Common Agricultural ...
