Abstract

Ecological intensification has been embraced with great interest by the academic sector but is still rarely taken up by farmers because monitoring the state of different ecological functions is not straightforward. Modelling tools can represent a more accessible alternative of measuring ecological functions, which could help promote their use amongst farmers and other decision-makers. In the case of crop pollination, modelling has traditionally followed either a mechanistic or a data-driven approach. Mechanistic models simulate the habitat preferences and foraging behaviour of pollinators, while data-driven models associate georeferenced variables with real observations. Here, we test these two approaches to predict pollination supply and validate these predictions using data from a newly released global dataset on pollinator visitation rates to different crops. We use one of the most extensively used models for the mechanistic approach, while for the data-driven approach, we select from among a comprehensive set of state-of-the-art machine-learning models. Moreover, we explore a mixed approach, where data-derived inputs, rather than expert assessment, inform the mechanistic model. We find that, at a global scale, machine-learning models work best, offering a rank correlation coefficient between predictions and observations of pollinator visitation rates of 0.56. In turn, the mechanistic model works moderately well at a global scale for wild bees other than bumblebees. Biomes characterized by temperate or Mediterranean forests show a better agreement between mechanistic model predictions and observations, probably due to more comprehensive ecological knowledge and therefore better parameterization of input variables for these biomes. This study highlights the challenges of transferring input variables across multiple biomes, as expected given the different composition of species in different biomes. Our results provide clear guidance on which pollination supply mode

Abstract

Understanding the effects of neonicotinoid insecticides on bees is vital because of reported declines in bee diversity and distribution (1-3) and the crucial role bees have as pollinators in ecosystems and agriculture (4). Neonicotinoids are suspected to pose an unacceptable risk to bees, partly because of their systemic uptake in plants (5), and the European Union has therefore introduced a moratorium on three neonicotinoids as seed coatings in flowering crops that attract bees (6). The moratorium has been criticized for being based on weak evidence (7), particularly because effects have mostly been measured on bees that have been artificially fed neonicotinoids (8-11). Thus, the key question is how neonicotinoids influence bees, and wild bees in particular, in real-world agricultural landscapes (11-13). Here we show that a commonly used insecticide seed coating in a flowering crop can have serious consequences for wild bees. In a study with replicated and matched landscapes, we found that seed coating with Elado, an insecticide containing a combination of the neonicotinoid clothianidin and the non-systemic pyrethroid β-cyfluthrin, applied to oilseed rape seeds, reduced wild bee density, solitary bee nesting, and bumblebee colony growth and reproduction under field conditions. Hence, such insecticidal use can pose a substantial risk to wild bees in agricultural landscapes, and the contribution of pesticides to the global decline of wild bees (1-3) may have been underestimated. The lack of a significant response in honeybee colonies suggests that reported pesticide effects on honeybees cannot always be extrapolated to wild bees., Neuroactive neonicotinoids are commonly used in seed coatings to control herbivorous insect pests in a variety of crops such as corn, cereals and oilseed rape and are taken up systemically [...]

Abstract

Lunds universitet har på uppdrag av Naturvårdsverket under 2021 utvärderat metodik för nationell pollinatörsövervakning. Metodiken bygger på rapporten ”Proposal for an EU pollinator monitoring scheme” som tagits fram av en expertgrupp inom EU (Potts m. fl. 2020) och ska kunna ge underlag för uppföljning av pollinatörer på nationell nivå med ett främsta fokus på landskapet utanför områden som omfattas av EU:s gemensamma jordbrukspolitik (CAP). Nationella anpassningar och möjliga förenklingar av det europeiska förslaget har utvärderats, och uppdraget har koordinerats med det förslag till övervakning av pollinatörer i jordbrukslandskapet som parallellt tagits fram av SLU. Under 2021 genomfördes inventering på 31 lokaler utplacerade i större delen av Sverige. Urvalet av lokaler gjordes så att det täckte in Sveriges tre biogeografiska regioner: den kontinentala (Götaland), den boreala (Götaland, Svealand, Norrland), samt den alpina regionen (Svealand, Norrland). För fältarbetet anlitades 18 inventerare på volontärbasis eller mot ersättning. Säsongen 2021 inleddes med framtagande av fällor och fältmateriel, etablerande av lokalnätverk, samt rekrytering av inventerare. Själva fältsäsongen påbörjades i början-mitten av juli och pågick med en provtagning per månad som mål. I södra Sverige pågick säsongen september ut medan den i norr avslutades när hösten infunnit sig i augusti-september.Flera olika metoder utvärderades, däribland färgskålefällor, transekter, blombesöksräkningar och nattfjärilsfällor. Såväl 2×2-km och 1×1-km rutor har inventerats och 6 respektive 24 timmars provtagning har testats. Totalt har 18 875 exemplar av 115 olika arter/grupper samlats in från färgskålefällorna. Vid transektinventeringen hittades 617 individer av 42 arter fjärilar, med 6,8 arter i snitt per 500 m transekt och 419 individer humlor, med 14,0 noterade exemplar i snitt per 500 m transekt. Totalt har 135 blombesöksräkningar gjorts och 391 exemplar av 136 arter nattfjärilar har insamlats och artbestämts med hjälp av nattfjärilsfällor. Det bör noteras att metodiken så här långt testats ca. en halv säsong och att det vore mycket värdefullt att utöka med en fältsäsong från april 2022 och framåt för att bland annat täcka in vårflygande solitärbin m. fl. grupper. Utifrån säsongens resultat rekommenderar vi 1×1-km rutor med 5 fällstationer per ruta snarare än 2×2-km rutor. Merarbetet för 2×2-km rutor och 10 fällstationer per ruta var betydande (mängd material att transportera, avstånd etc.), gav inte signifikant högre artantal, och de större rutorna var klart mindre populära bland inventerarna. Vi rekommenderar 6 timmars provtagning baserat på att det visade sig vara enklare att utföra samt resulterade i motsvarande artantal som 6 + 18 timmar respektive 24 timmar. För transektinventeringarna rekommenderar vi att a) fullständig artlista används för dagfjärilar, då inventerare i stor utsträckning har god artkännedom inom denna grupp, att b) den s.k. ”långlistan” (ett urval av typiska pollinatörer, Ahrné m. fl. 2021, Pettersson m. fl. 2022) provas i relation till enklare listor (exv. ”kortlistan”, Ahrné m. fl. 2021, Pettersson m. fl. 2022) för övriga tre grupper (humlor, solitärbin, blomflugor) och att c) utbildningsmaterial för ”långlistan” tas fram (online-resurser och föreläsningar). I sin enklaste form kan transektinventering fokusera på abundansmått (humlor, solitärbin, blomflugor) men vi rekommenderar en något högre taxonomisk upplösning motsvarande åtminstone kortlistan. För humlor kan metoder för mer detaljerad artidentifiering tas fram. Blombesöksräkningar (Carvell m. fl. 2016, Carvell m. fl. 2020) har visat sig vara en enkel och effektiv metod för att räkna pollinatörer och växt-pollinatörsinteraktioner. Metoden är populär bland volontärer och vi rekommenderar fortsatt användning och anpassning till svenska förhållanden.Nattfjärilsfällorna anlände sent på säsongen 2021 och behöver utvärderas under en längre period för att utrustningen och metodiken ska kunna testas väl, men initialt verkar de gett goda resultat. Vidare har vi gett i uppdrag till NRM att med hjälp av metabarcoding analysera en delmängd (95) av de sorterade och bestämda proverna från färgskålefällorna. Detta förväntas ge information om samstämmighet mellan metabarcoding och manuell analys.För att få en bild av hur pilotprojektets deltagare uppfattat uppdragets metodik och utmaningar har vi genomfört en detaljerad enkätundersökning motsvarande den i Carvell m. fl. (2016) bland inventerarna. Generellt har de varit positiva till sitt deltagande, pilotprojektets omfattning och samstämmiga i rekommendationen av 1×1-km rutor med 5 fällstationer per ruta. Många har i direkt kontakt med oss efterfrågat utbildningssatsningar för de svårare grupperna. Slutligen, för att erhålla data som speglar pollinatörssamhällets förändring över säsongen vore det önskvärt att fortsätta pilotförsöket i det etablerade lokalnätverket under 2022. Inventerare och utrustning finns på plats och kan påbörja säsongen så snart årstiden tillåter. En förlängning innebär även möjligheter till fördjupade analyser, i första hand ett mindre antal (4) 2×2-km rutor (Potts m. fl. 2020, ”superytor” i Pettersson m. fl. 2022) där kritiska mått som exv. effekten av fällantal, transektlängd, fångst¬period skulle kunna detaljstuderas med hjälp av anställd personal och därmed säkerställa analysstyrka. Det vore värdefullt för såväl det etablerade lokalnätverket som superytorna om utbildningsmaterial för långlistan kunde tas fram under 2022.

Abstract

Seventy five percent of the world's food crops benefit from insect pollination. Hence, there has been increased interest in how global change drivers impact this critical ecosystem service. Because standardized data on crop pollination are rarely available, we are limited in our capacity to understand the variation in pollination benefits to crop yield, as well as to anticipate changes in this service, develop predictions, and inform management actions. Here, we present CropPol, a dynamic, open and global database on crop pollination. It contains measurements recorded from 202 crop studies, covering 3,394 field observations, 2,552 yield measurements (i.e. berry weight, number of fruits and kg per hectare, among others), and 47,752 insect records from 48 commercial crops distributed around the globe. CropPol comprises 32 of the 87 leading global crops and commodities that are pollinator dependent. Malus domestica is the most represented crop (32 studies), followed by Brassica napus (22 studies), Vaccinium corymbosum (13 studies), and Citrullus lanatus (12 studies). The most abundant pollinator guilds recorded are honey bees (34.22% counts), bumblebees (19.19%), flies other than Syrphidae and Bombyliidae (13.18%), other wild bees (13.13%), beetles (10.97%), Syrphidae (4.87%), and Bombyliidae (0.05%). Locations comprise 34 countries distributed among Europe (76 studies), Northern America (60), Latin America and the Caribbean (29), Asia (20), Oceania (10), and Africa (7). Sampling spans three decades and is concentrated on 2001-05 (21 studies), 2006-10 (40), 2011-15 (88), and 2016-20 (50). This is the most comprehensive open global data set on measurements of crop flower visitors, crop pollinators and pollination to date, and we encourage researchers to add more datasets to this database in the future. This data set is released for non-commercial use only. Credits should be given to this paper (i.e., proper citation), and the products generated with this database should

Abstract

Seventy five percent of the world's food crops benefit from insect pollination. Hence, there has been increased interest in how global change drivers impact this critical ecosystem service. Because standardized data on crop pollination are rarely available, we are limited in our capacity to understand the variation in pollination benefits to crop yield, as well as to anticipate changes in this service, develop predictions, and inform management actions. Here, we present CropPol, a dynamic, open, and global database on crop pollination. It contains measurements recorded from 202 crop studies, covering 3,394 field observations, 2,552 yield measurements (i.e., berry mass, number of fruits, and fruit density [kg/ha], among others), and 47,752 insect records from 48 commercial crops distributed around the globe. CropPol comprises 32 of the 87 leading global crops and commodities that are pollinator dependent. Malus domestica is the most represented crop (32 studies), followed by Brassica napus (22 studies), Vaccinium corymbosum (13 studies), and Citrullus lanatus (12 studies). The most abundant pollinator guilds recorded are honey bees (34.22% counts), bumblebees (19.19%), flies other than Syrphidae and Bombyliidae (13.18%), other wild bees (13.13%), beetles (10.97%), Syrphidae (4.87%), and Bombyliidae (0.05%). Locations comprise 34 countries distributed among Europe (76 studies), North America (60), Latin America and the Caribbean (29), Asia (20), Oceania (10), and Africa (7). Sampling spans three decades and is concentrated on 2001–2005 (21 studies), 2006–2010 (40), 2011–2015 (88), and 2016–2020 (50). This is the most comprehensive open global data set on measurements of crop flower visitors, crop pollinators and pollination to date, and we encourage researchers to add more datasets to this database in the future. This data set is released for non-commercial use only. Credits should be given to this paper (i.e., proper citation), and the products generated with this da

Abstract

Pollinators face multiple pressures and there is evidence of populations in decline. As demand for insect-pollinated crops increases, crop production is threatened by shortfalls in pollination services. Understanding the extent of current yield deficits due to pollination and identifying opportunities to protect or improve crop yield and quality through pollination management is therefore of international importance. To explore the extent of “pollination deficits,” where maximum yield is not being achieved due to insufficient pollination, we used an extensive dataset on a globally important crop, apples. We quantified how these deficits vary between orchards and countries and we compared “pollinator dependence” across different apple varieties. We found evidence of pollination deficits and, in some cases, risks of overpollination were even apparent for which fruit quality could be reduced by too much pollination. In almost all regions studied we found some orchards performing significantly better than others in terms of avoiding a pollination deficit and crop yield shortfalls due to suboptimal pollination. This represents an opportunity to improve production through better pollinator and crop management. Our findings also demonstrated that pollinator dependence varies considerably between apple varieties in terms of fruit number and fruit quality. We propose that assessments of pollination service and deficits in crops can be used to quantify supply and demand for pollinators and help to target local management to address deficits although crop variety has a strong influence on the role of pollinators.

21. Editorial: Habitat Modification and Landscape Fragmentation in Agricultural Ecosystems: Implications for Biodiversity and Landscape Multi-Functionality

Abstract

Biodiversity is the basis of several important ecosystem functions, which guarantee the provision of irreplaceable Nature’s contribution to people, for example food production. Long-term maintenance of such functions and services in agricultural ecosystems thus depend on the maintenance of the biodiversity of agro-ecosystems (Foley et al., 2005; Tomlinson, 2013). Biodiversity loss is therefore a major global environmental problem, with habitat deterioration being one of the main drivers (Tilman, 2001; Brook et al., 2008). As habitat loss is one consequence of agricultural intensification (Benton et al., 2003), and agricultural ecosystems comprise 40% of Earth’s land ecosystems (FAO, 2021), agriculture plays a critical role for biodiversity and ecosystem functioning at large. However, the influence of habitat loss, fragmentation and modifications in agricultural ecosystems on biodiversity and ecosystem functions is still hard to disentangle from that of other mechanisms. For some taxa or ecosystem services (e.g., pollinators and pollination), landscape and habitat modification have been shown to be important, e.g., as increasing habitat fragmentation or crop isolation from natural areas decrease pollination services (Ricketts et al., 2008; Farwig et al., 2009; Garibaldi et al., 2009, 2011).

Abstract

While an increasing number of studies indicate that the range, diversity and abundance of many wild pollinators has declined, the global area of pollinator-dependent crops has significantly increased over the last few decades. Crop pollination studies to date have mainly focused on either identifying different guilds pollinating various crops, or on factors driving spatial changes and turnover observed in these communities. The mechanisms driving temporal stability for ecosystem functioning and services, however, remain poorly understood. Our study quantifies temporal variability observed in crop pollinators in 21 different crops across multiple years at a global scale. Using data from 43 studies from six continents, we show that (i) higher pollinator diversity confers greater inter-annual stability in pollinator communities, (ii) temporal variation observed in pollinator abundance is primarily driven by the three-most dominant species, and (iii) crops in tropical regions demonstrate higher inter-annual variability in pollinator species richness than crops in temperate regions. We highlight the importance of recognizing wild pollinator diversity in agricultural landscapes to stabilize pollinator persistence across years to protect both biodiversity and crop pollination services. Short-term agricultural management practices aimed at dominant species for stabilizing pollination services need to be considered alongside longer term conservation goals focussed on maintaining and facilitating biodiversity to confer ecological stability.

Abstract

Managing agricultural landscapes to support biodiversity and ecosystem services is a key aim of a sustainable agriculture. However, how the spatial arrangement of crop fields and other habitats in landscapes impacts arthropods and their functions is poorly known. Synthesising data from 49 studies (1515 landscapes) across Europe, we examined effects of landscape composition (% habitats) and configuration (edge density) on arthropods in fields and their margins, pest control, pollination and yields. Configuration effects interacted with the proportions of crop and non‐crop habitats, and species’ dietary, dispersal and overwintering traits led to contrasting responses to landscape variables. Overall, however, in landscapes with high edge density, 70% of pollinator and 44% of natural enemy species reached highest abundances and pollination and pest control improved 1.7‐ and 1.4‐fold respectively. Arable‐dominated landscapes with high edge densities achieved high yields. This suggests that enhancing edge density in European agroecosystems can promote functional biodiversity and yield‐enhancing ecosystem services.

Abstract

Human land use threatens global biodiversity and compromises multiple ecosystem functions critical to food production. Whether crop yield-related ecosystem services can be maintained by a few dominant species or rely on high richness remains unclear. Using a global database from 89 studies (with 1475 locations), we partition the relative importance of species richness, abundance, and dominance for pollination; biological pest control; and final yields in the context of ongoing land-use change. Pollinator and enemy richness directly supported ecosystem services in addition to and independent of abundance and dominance. Up to 50% of the negative effects of landscape simplification on ecosystem services was due to richness losses of service-providing organisms, with negative consequences for crop yields. Maintaining the biodiversity of ecosystem service providers is therefore vital to sustain the flow of key agroecosystem benefits to society.
