“…The diet of social bee pollinators can be very diverse (Leonhardt & Blüthgen, 2012;Requier et al, 2015). This supports the idea that not only resources from the main mass flowering crops but also from leys, pastures and other semi-natural patches can be important for this group (Carrié, Ekroos, & Smith, 2018). To understand the effect of crop diversity on pollinators, we need to disentangle the effect of crop diversity from other types of landscape heterogeneity like the amount of semi-natural habitats.…”

“…Distributions of errors employed in models are mentioned in Table . Potential spatial autocorrelation of the residuals was checked by a Mantel test (integrated into R package ‘ ade 4’; Dray & Siberchicot, 2018), and geographic coordinates were added to these models to account for autocorrelation if needed (according to Carrié, Ekroos, & Smith, ).…”

Aim: Landscape simplification and the spread of invasive species are considered beyond the main threats to global biodiversity. It is well recognized that non-crop habitats bring complexity to farmland and provide refuge for a wide range of organisms, including arthropods. However, knowledge about the effects of invasive trees on arthropods in non-crop habitats in intensive agricultural landscapes is still weak. Therefore, we examined differences in the arthropod assemblages between woodlots formed by the invasive black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) and by native deciduous tree species in the intensive agricultural landscape.Location: Czech Republic, Central Europe. Methods:We used a multi-taxonomic approach to record arthropod assemblages using various sampling methods. The impacts of woodlot habitat structure were investigated across 13 arthropod taxa from different trophic levels.Results: Total abundance and species richness of all arthropods and the majority of the herbivore taxa were lower in R. pseudoacacia woodlots, likely due to losses of the forest canopy specialists. The forest specialists were associated with the native woodlots with more developed canopy and shrub layers. The impoverished diversity of the forest specialists and canopy herbivores in the R. pseudoacacia woodlots was partly compensated by the higher presence of species exploiting a well developed herb layer and open-habitat specialists, including threatened species.Main conclusions: Native woodlots and those formed by R. pseudoacacia differ in vegetation structure and host different assemblages of arthropods. Therefore, parallel presence of both types of woodlots supports arthropod diversity in otherwise simplified agricultural landscapes through creating more complex mosaic of habitats.

Recent regional reports and trends in biomonitoring suggest that insects are experiencing a multicontinental crisis that is apparent as reductions in abundance, diversity, and biomass. Given the centrality of insects to terrestrial ecosystems and the food chain that supports humans, the importance of addressing these declines cannot be overstated. The scientific community has understandably been focused on establishing the breadth and depth of the phenomenon and on documenting factors causing insect declines. In parallel with ongoing research, it is now time for the development of a policy consensus that will allow for a swift societal response. We point out that this response need not wait for full resolution of the many physiological, behavioral, and demographic aspects of declining insect populations. To these ends, we suggest primary policy goals summarized at scales from nations to farms to homes.
