  • Bees increase seed set of wild plants while the proportion of arable land has a variable effect on pollination in European agricultural landscapes

    • Background and aims: Agricultural intensification and loss of farmland heterogeneity have contributed to population declines of wild bees and other pollinators, which may have caused subsequent declines in insect-pollinated wild plants.Material and methods: Using data from 37 studies on 22 pollinator-dependent wild plant species across Europe, we investigated whether flower visitation and seed set of insect-pollinated plants decline with an increasing proportion of arable land within 1 km.Key results: Seed set increased with increasing flower visitation by bees, most of which were wild bees, but not with increasing flower visitation by other insects. Increasing proportion of arable land had a strongly variable effect on seed set and flower visitation by bees across studies.Conclusion:Factors such as landscape configuration, local habitat quality, and temporally changing resource availability (e.g. due to mass-flowering crops or honey bee hives) could have modified the effect of arable land on pollination. While our results highlight that the persistence of wild bees is crucial to maintain plant diversity, we also show that pollen limitation due to declining bee populations in homogenized agricultural landscapes is not a universal driver causing parallel losses of bees and insect-pollinated plants.

  • Destination service volunteering
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: The Routledge Handbook of Volunteering in Events, Sport and Tourism. - London : Routledge. - 9780367815875 ; , s. 83-95
  • Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This chapter reviews research on volunteering in destination service organisations, which promote and facilitate tourism in a destination. This setting for volunteering has been largely overlooked when compared to attractions, events and volunteer tourism. The chapter reviews the limited studies on volunteering in destination service settings, namely visitor information centres, meet-and-greet programmes, destination tourism associations, destination tour guiding, campground hosting, and emergency and rescue services. A model of destination service volunteering settings and roles is presented. This identifies four roles where volunteers are making contributions to a destination’s management and the visitor experience: destination planning, risk management, visitor welcome and orientation, interpretation and co-creation. The model also highlights that while ‘host’ volunteering dominates, some destination service volunteers can also view themselves as travellers, or ‘guest’ volunteers. The chapter concludes with a research agenda for destination service volunteering.
