    • Enhancing legume crop pollination and natural pest regulation for improved food security in changing African landscapes 

      Otieno, Mark; Dewentera, Ingolf S.; Potts, Simon G.; Kinuthia, Wanja; Kasina, Muo J.; Garrattb, Michael P.D. (Elsevier, 2020-09)
      Legumes are important crops for food security, consumed by millions of people especially in Africa where they are an essential protein source and provide key vitamins and minerals. Most legumes depend on insect pollination ...

    • A global quantitative synthesis of local and landscape effects on wild bee pollinators in agroecosystems 

      Kennedy, Christina M.; Lonsdorf, Erick; Neel, Maile C.; Williams, Neal M.; Ricketts, Taylor H.; Winfree, Rachael; Bommarco, Riccardo; Brittain, Claire; Burley, Alana L.; Cariveau, Daniel; Carvalheiro; Chacoff, Natacha P.; Cunningham, Saul A.; Danforth, Bryan N.; Dudenhoffer, Jan-Hendrick; Elle, Elizabeth; Gaines, Hanna R.; Garibaldi, Lucas A.; Gratton, Claudio; Holzschuh, Andrea; Isaacs, Rufus; Javorek, Steven K.; Jha, Shalene; Klein, Alexandra M.; Krewenka, Kristin; Mandelik, Yael; Mayfield, Margaret M.; Morandin, Lora; Neame, Lisa A.; Otieno, Mark; Park, Mia; Potts, Simon G.; Rundlof, Maj; Saez, Agustin; Steffan-Dewenter, Ingolf; Taki, Hisatomo; Viana, Blandina F.; Westphal, Catrin; Wilson, Julianna K.; Greenleaf, Sara S.; Kremen, Claire; Carvalheiro, Luisa G. (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2013)
      Bees provide essential pollination services that are potentially affected both by local farm management and the surrounding landscape. To better understand these different factors, we modelled the relative effects of ...

    • Local and landscape effects on bee functional guilds in pigeon pea crops in Kenya 

      Otieno, Mark; Sidhu, Sheena C.; Woodcock, Ben A.; Wilby, A.; Ioannis, N.; Mauchline, Alice L.; Gikungu, Mary W.; Potts, Simon G. (Springer, 2015-07)
      Pollinators face many challenges within agricultural systems due to landscape changes and intensification which can affect resource availability that can impact pollination services. This paper examines pigeon pea pollination ...

    • Local management and landscape drivers of pollination and biological control services in a Kenyan agro-ecosystem 

      Otieno, Mark; Woodcock, Ben A.; Wilby, Andrew; Vogiatzakis, Ioannis N.; Mauchline, Alice L.; Gikungu, Mary W.; Potts, Simon G. (Elsevier, 2011)
      Arthropods that have a direct impact on crop production (i.e. pests, natural enemies and pollinators) can be influenced by both local farm management and the context within which the fields occur in the wider landscape. ...

    • The Utility of Aerial Pan-Trapping for Assessing Insect Pollinators Across Vertical Strata 

      Nuttman, Clive; Otieno, Mark; Kwapong, Peter K.; Combey, Rofela; Willmer, Pat; Potts, Simon G. (2011)
      Insect pollinators provide a critical ecosystem service by pollinating many wild flowers and crops. It is therefore essential to be able to effectively survey and monitor pollinator communities across a range of habitats, ...
