We found universally positive associations of fruit set with flower visitation by wild insects in 41 crop systems worldwide. In contrast, fruit set increased significantly with flower visitation by honey bees in only 14% of the systems surveyed. Overall, wild insects pollinated crops more effectively; an increase in wild insect visitation enhanced fruit set by twice as much as an equivalent increase in honey bee visitation.

There is an ongoing debate whether land for nature and for production should be segregated (land sparing) or integrated on the same land (land sharing, wildlife-friendly farming). While recent studies argue for agricultural intensification in a land sparing approach, we suggest here that it fails to account for real-world complexity. We argue that agriculture practiced under smallholder farmer-dominated landscapes and not large-scale farming, is currently the backbone of global food security in the developing world. Furthermore, contemporary food usage is inefficient with one third wasted and a further third used inefficiently to feed livestock and that conventional intensification causes often overlooked environmental costs. A major argument for wildlife friendly farming and agroecological intensification is that crucial ecosystem services are provided by “planned” and “associated” biodiversity, whereas the land sparing concept implies that biodiversity in agroecosystems is functionally negligible. However, loss of biological control can result in dramatic increases of pest densities, pollinator services affect a third of global human food supply, and inappropriate agricultural management can lead to environmental degradation. Hence, the true value of functional biodiversity on the farm is often inadequately acknowledged or understood, while conventional intensification tends to disrupt beneficial functions of biodiversity. In conclusion, linking agricultural intensification with biodiversity conservation and hunger reduction requires well-informed regional and targeted solutions, something which the land sparing vs sharing debate has failed to achieve so far."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.biocon.2012.01.068"],["dc.identifier.gro","3149901"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/6611"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","public"],["dc.relation.issn","0006-3207"],["dc.title","Global food security, biodiversity conservation and the future of agricultural intensification"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

High deforestation rates and a politically unstable recent past indicate a problematic setting for conservation efforts. Here, we studied a forest-town gradient along four villages between a population centre (i.e., Siem Reap) and the forest of the Phnom Kulen National Park in rural north-western Cambodia. We analysed whether rural communities' dependence on forest resource extraction precludes strict forest and national park protection. A total of 149 structured interviews in four local communities revealed a rapid advance of a typical forest frontier. With increasing distance to town, small businesses as income sources decreased, whereas forest-related activities and slash-and-burn agriculture increased. Local residents were strongly dependent on forest resource extraction, especially on fuel wood, and land use for slash-and-burn agriculture as cash and subsidence income sources. Most forest resources-especially large-bodied wildlife species and timber, both used predominantly by households with a better asset-based index of wealth-were rated as difficult to find. No significant relationship between the use of non-timber forest products and wealth could be identified. We conclude that the importance of forest resources increases with proximity to the forest, however, households rely on forest resources for income supplementation rather than for primary income. To prevent the continued degradation of forests, their resources and related biodiversity, greater community engagement and capacity building in sustainable forest management practices combined with stricter law enforcement, and protection from harvesters from outside of the local communities are required."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Zoo Muenster, Germany"],["dc.identifier.isi","000308417500007"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/26184"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.relation.issn","0217-2445"],["dc.title","SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONTEXT OF FOREST BIODIVERSITY USE ALONG A TOWN-FOREST GRADIENT IN CAMBODIA"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Invasive ant species often substantially reduce diversity in the native ants diversity that act as natural control agents for pest insects. In Indonesia (on the island of Sulawesi), the third largest cacao producer worldwide, we show that a predatory endemic toad (Ingerophrynus celebensis) controls invasive ant (Anoplolepis gracilipes) abundance, and positively affects native ant diversity. We call this the invasive-naivety effect (an opposite of enemy release), whereby alien species may not harbour anti-predatory defences against a novel native predator. A positive effect of the toads on native ants may facilitate their predation on insect vectors of cacao diseases. Hence, toads may increase crop yield, but further research is needed on this aspect. Ironically, amphibians are globally the most threatened vertebrate class and are strongly impacted by the conversion of rainforest to cacao plantations in Sulawesi. It is, therefore, crucial to manage cacao plantations to maintain these endemic toads, as they may provide critical ecosystem services, such as invasion resistance and preservation of native insect diversity."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1098/rspb.2010.1512"],["dc.identifier.gro","3149846"],["dc.identifier.pmid","20826488"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/6549"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","0962-8452"],["dc.title","Endemic predators, invasive prey and native diversity"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

On the landscape scale, bee abundance, mainly of small species, increased when homegardens were closer to the forest.Increasing abundance of flower-visiting bees increased cucumber yield, with solitary bees being the most abundant flower visitors.
