A global-scale expert assessment of drivers and risks associated with pollinator decline
Pollinator decline has attracted global attention and substantial efforts are underway to
respond through national pollinator strategies and action plans. These policy responses …

Recent and future declines of a historically widespread pollinator linked to climate, land cover, and pesticides
The acute decline in global biodiversity includes not only the loss of rare species, but also
the rapid collapse of common species across many different taxa. The loss of pollinating …

Global meta-analysis shows reduced quality of food crops under inadequate animal pollination
Animal pollination supports the production of a wide range of food crops fundamental to
maintaining diverse and nutritionally balanced diets. Here, we present a global meta …

Bee and non-bee pollinator importance for local food security
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 …

Forests are critically important to global pollinator diversity and enhance pollination in adjacent crops
Although the importance of natural habitats to pollinator diversity is widely recognized, the
value of forests to pollinating insects has been largely overlooked in many parts of the world …

Pollinator deficits, food consumption, and consequences for human health: a modeling study
Background: Animal pollination supports agricultural production for many healthy foods,
such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes, that provide key nutrients and protect against …

IPM reduces insecticide applications by 95% while maintaining or enhancing crop yields through wild pollinator conservation
Pest management practices in modern industrial agriculture have increasingly relied on
insurance-based insecticides such as seed treatments that are poorly correlated with pest …
