Insect declines are being reported worldwide for flying, ground, and aquatic lineages. Most
reports come from western and northern Europe, where the insect fauna is well-studied and …

Pollinators are critical for food security; however, their contribution to the pollination of locally
important crops is still unclear, especially for non-bee pollinators. We reviewed the diversity …

Insects other than bees (ie, non-bees) have been acknowledged as important crop
pollinators, but our understanding of which crop plants they visit and how effective they are …

Many insect species provide essential pollination services. However, the amount of pollen

Linnaeus 1758 (Hymenoptera: Apidae), to pollinate crops. Given the risks associated with …

Protective covers (ie, glasshouses, netting enclosures, and polytunnels) are increasingly
used in crop production to enhance crop quality, yield, and production efficiency. However …

Migratory insects are a key component of terrestrial ecosystems, but understanding their full
contribution is challenging as they are difficult to track, and migration often takes place at …

There is increasing concern about the decline of pollinators worldwide. However, despite
reports that pollinator declines are widespread, data are scarce and often geographically …

Pollinating insects are critical to ecosystem stability and food security. Concerns about the
