Mustard plants distant from forest fragments receive a lower diversity of flower-visiting insects

Mustard fields (Brassica campestris: Brassicaceae) are mass flowering crops attracting a wide diversity of flower-visiting insects. Many studies have shown that the diversity of insects is higher near forest fragments than farther away from the forest edge and that Apis-bees numerically dominate such ecosystems. In this study, we investigated how insect diversity changes with distance from the forest edge (100 m, 1100 m, 2100 m) in mustard crop...
