Social and ecological dimensions of supporting wild pollinators in tropical smallholder farms
… these landscapes, ecosystem services provided by wild insects, such as pollination services, play an important role in sustaining food security and biodiversity conservation. However, much of the research on pollination services to date has been developed in simplified, industrial agricultural …

Pollinator Movement and Pollen Transfer in Hybrid Seed Canola
… (‘female’) plants, facilitated by managed pollinators (honey and leafcutter bees) and wild pollinators. I assessed pollinators in fields of hybrid seed canola located in Southern Alberta to determine what behaviours and conditions could enhance pollen transfer between male and female …

Plant-pollinator relationships of culturally significant food and medicine plants in the Great Lakes Region
Wild plant and pollinator populations have experienced declines globally in recent years. While species declines have often been examined for their impacts ecologically and economically, little is known about how species declines will impact humans culturally. All Indigenous cultures in North …

Ecosystem functioning, ecosystem services and rooibos production as affected by connectivity to natural vegetation and agrochemical use in rooibos tea (Aspalathus linearis) farming
… ecosystem services. Insect pollination by wild pollinators is especially affected, but their relative impact and possible interactions have been relatively unexplored. There is also considerable evidence for the negative impacts of agricultural activities and agrochemical use on ecosystem …

Pollination in a changing world: function and resilience
… by agriculture, largely due to impacts on wild pollinators that require natural habitat. However, although more biodiverse communities often provide greater functional performance and stability, specific effects of agriculture on pollination is poorly understood. In this thesis, I used …

BEES, HONEY AND TERRITORY: A COMPLEX NETWORK OF INTERACTIONS BETWEEN LANDSCAPE, BEEKEEPING AND HONEY QUALITY
… to the interactions between domesticated and wild pollinators, and to the role of territory in shaping the characteristics of apicultural products. Bees of the genus Apis are among the most extensively studied pollinators worldwide, playing a crucial role in plant reproduction and agricultural …
