Table 1 Species richness and proportional abundance, for each of the five functional guilds: solitary ground nesters, social ground nesters, cavity nesters, bumblebees (Bombus spp.) and cleptoparasites in relation to the total amount of pollinator habitat at each spatial scale.

From: Safeguarding pollinators requires specific habitat prescriptions and substantially more land area than suggested by current policy
