By facilitating plant reproduction, pollinators perform a crucial ecological function that
supports the majority of the world's plant diversity, and associated organisms, and a …

BACKGROUND The species richness of wild bees and other pollinators has declined over
the past 50 years, with some species undergoing major declines and a few going extinct …

Managed bees are critical for crop pollination worldwide. As the demand for pollinator-
dependent crops increases, so does the use of managed bees. Concern has arisen that …

We assessed the state of knowledge regarding the effects of large-scale pollution with
neonicotinoid insecticides and fipronil on non-target invertebrate species of terrestrial …

The honeybee is the primary managed species worldwide for both crop pollination and
honey production. Owing to beekee** activity, its high relative abundance potentially …

Pollinators are a key component of global biodiversity, providing vital ecosystem services to
crops and wild plants. There is clear evidence of recent declines in both wild and …

Urbanization is increasing worldwide, with major impacts on biodiversity, species
interactions and ecosystem functioning. Pollination is an ecosystem function vital for …

The decline of many bumblebee species (Bombus spp.) has been linked to an increased
prevalence of pathogens caused by spillover from managed bees. Although poorly …

Mutualisms structure ecosystems and mediate their functioning. They also enhance
invasions of many alien species. Invasions disrupt native mutualisms, often leading to …

Pollination is an essential process in the sexual reproduction of seed plants and a key
ecosystem service to human welfare. Animal pollinators decline as a consequence of five …
