Equivocal evidence for a change in balance between selfing and pollinator-mediated reproduction in annual Brassicaceae growing along a rainfall gradient

Eleanor V. J. Gibson-Forty et al.

Summary: This study investigates the correlations between pollinator-mediated pollen transfer, autonomous selfing, and habitat conditions. The results show that pollinator activity decreases with increasing aridity, but annual species still have relatively high reproductive success. Only one species exhibits increased autonomous selfing correlated with aridity and decreased pollinator visits.

Do Apis and non-Apis bees provide a similar contribution to crop production with different levels of pollination dependency? A review using meta-analysis

Camila Nonato Junqueira et al.

Summary: Recent studies show that the richness of pollinators in crop systems can enhance productivity by leveraging functional trait differences between species, advocating for integrated management of both Apis and non-Apis bees for global crop yields. Meta-analysis of 33 published studies indicates that bee pollinators, regardless of being Apis or non-Apis species, significantly increase crop production, especially for crops with high pollination dependency. Both Apis and non-Apis bees play essential roles in maintaining agricultural production.

A meta-analysis of single visit pollination effectiveness comparing honeybees and other floral visitors

Maureen L. Page et al.

Summary: The study found that honeybees are significantly less effective than the most effective non-honeybee pollinators but are as effective as the average pollinator. The effectiveness of honeybees is moderated by the type of pollinator, showing lower effectiveness compared to the most effective and average bird and bee pollinators but similar effectiveness to other taxa. Visitation frequency and pollination effectiveness are positively correlated, with this trend being largely influenced by data from communities where honeybees were absent.

Larger pollinators deposit more pollen on stigmas across multiple plant species-A meta-analysis

Rita Foeldesi et al.

Summary: Wild pollinators deposit more pollen onto stigmas per single visit than honeybees, with larger pollinators depositing significantly more pollen. There was no significant difference in the amount of pollen deposited between the two methodological approaches, static and active. Further research is needed to quantify the pollination effectiveness of non-bee pollinators.

Buzz-Pollinated Crops: A Global Review and Meta-analysis of the Effects of Supplemental Bee Pollination in Tomato

Hazel Cooley et al.

Summary: Buzz-pollinated plants rely on vibration-producing bee species for successful pollen release, including important crops like tomato and blueberry. Studies on tomato cultivation show that pollination by buzz-pollinating bees significantly increases fruit weight, while other pollination methods do not have the same effect.

Maximizing ecosystem services to the oil crop Brassica carinata through landscape heterogeneity and arthropod diversity

Shane Stiles et al.

Summary: Our research demonstrates a significant positive relationship between insect (and pollinator) diversity and crop yield in fields without treatments such as hives or seed treatments. All farming practices increase yield, but alter the relationship between yield and insect diversity. Increased landscape heterogeneity can serve as a substitute for common farming practices and increase farmers' profitability.

Higher richness and abundance of flower-visiting insects close to natural vegetation provide contrasting effects on mustard yields

Kedar Devkota et al.

Summary: The study indicates that the diversity of flower-visiting insects is higher near natural vegetation, with richness and abundance showing a greater impact on mustard yields. Species richness appears to be more critical for mustard production than insect abundance. The maintenance of natural vegetation is recommended to ensure the presence of multiple pollinator species within mustard fields for long-term sustainability in Nepal.
