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 …

Crop‐pollinating D iptera have diverse diets and habitat needs in both larval and adult stages
Insects are important pollinators of global food crops and wild plants. The adult and larval
diet and habitat needs are well known for many bee taxa, but poorly understood for other …
