services or enhance the services provided by honey bees through behavioral interactions. However, intensified agricultural practices can quickly erode pollination services through the loss of species and those remaining are unable to compensate for the difference. The results of this study also indicate ...
Evaluation of Honey Bees within the Scope of Sustainable Development Goals and Ecosystem Services The ecosystem services provided by bees make substantial contributions to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) including No Poverty (SDG1), Zero ... M Yilmaz Kaya,YS Gltekn,P Gltekn - 《Du...
provide the same level of service (Cardinale et al., 2006; Ingram et al., 2012). Fourthly, some services may be delivered adequately by relatively common species (Ridder, 2008) or by non-native species such as managed honeybees, which have little conservation interest or may even have ...
Some Actinidia species (in particular, Actinidia deliciosa) located in New Zealand have been the subject of a relatively recent study (Pomeroy and Fisher 2002) showing that, within specific local ecosystems, the kiwifruit production is largely due to the pollination activity of honey bees, mainly ...
The Convention on Biological Diversity has mainly considered the economic importance of pollinator conservation in relation to the agricultural services highlighted by the Sao Paulo Declaration. It is important to recognise, however, that biotic pollination is a critical aspect of biodiversity that has a...
Many small farmland ponds are built for nutrient retention, the conservation of biodiversity or both, yet they are relatively neglected habitats. For example, little is known about the potential for ponds to influence populations of beneficial terrestrial insects, deliver ecosystem services across the ...
Ecosystem services are benefits that humans derive from ecosystem processes. These arise from numerous interactions between plants, animals, and their environments. The term “nature’s services” was coined in the 1970s in response to increasing destruction of natural habitat and urban development with...
Urban Governance of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services In an increasingly urban world the battle for biodiversity hinges on how effectively cities are governed, and how responsive those who run cities are to transforming the urban system to embrace ecosystem integrity and restoration. This c... C ...
Pollination by wild pollinators is an ecosystem service, while managed pollinators (mostly honeybees) is a humanly managed service, considered not to be related to the ecosystem. Ecosystem services and their economic value have often been used as an incentive for conservation, although it is ...
