The extent of our reliance on animal pollination for world crop production for human food
has not previously been evaluated and the previous estimates for countries or continents …

Pollinators may be declining globally, a matter of concern because animal pollination is
required by most of the world's plant species, including many crop plants. Human land use …

Despite evidence of pollinator declines from many regions across the globe, the threat this
poses to plant populations is not clear because plants can often produce seeds without …

Mast seeding is a widespread and widely studied phenomenon. However, the physiological
mechanisms that mediate masting events and link them to weather and plant resources are …

Pollinators-insects, birds, bats, and other animals that carry pollen from the male to the
female parts of flowers for plant reproduction-are an essential part of natural and agricultural …

There is increasing evidence that human disturbance can negatively impact plant–pollinator
interactions such as outcross pollination. We present a meta-analysis of 22 studies involving …

Bees pollinate most of the world's wild plant species and provide economically valuable
pollination services to crops; yet knowledge of bee conservation biology lags far behind …

Ecological restoration of plant–pollinator interactions has received surprisingly little
attention, despite animal-mediated pollination underpinning reproduction of the majority of …

The analysis of ecological networks has gained a very prominent foothold in ecology over
the last years. While many publications try to elucidate patterns about the networks, others …

Land use change, by disrupting the co-evolved interactions between plants and their
pollinators, could be causing plant reproduction to be limited by pollen supply. Using a …
