Though they are relatively understudied, non-native bees are ubiquitous and have
enormous potential economic and environmental impacts. These impacts may be positive or …

An increasing degree of attention is being given to the ecosystem services which insect
pollinators supply, and the economic value of these services. Recent research suggests that …

We develop a computable general equilibrium (CGE) approach to assess the
macroeconomic impacts of productivity shocks due to catastrophic losses of pollination …

The natural environment and modern society are inextricably bound to pollinators; these
pollinators maintain a healthy, genetically diverse ecosystem of wild plants and are essential …

Seed dispersal is an ecosystem service strongly affected by the loss of mutualist dispersers,
with economic consequences in terms of carbon sequestration and climate change …

Since the second half of the 20th Century, our agricultural bee pollinators have faced
mounting threats from ecological disturbance and pan-global movement of pathogens and …

As climatic and other impactful environmental changes continue to gain momentum
pollination, services are poised to be harmed, and wild bee species are not an exception. In …

Pollinators provide pollination services that are crucial for sexual reproduction of many
flowering plants. Beside wind and water, pollination services are provided by animals but …

This chapter summarizes how agricultural production and bees are inter-dependent. Honey
bees are the most commonly used agricultural pollinators in the world, but are threatened by …

Background Pollinators play a key role in human food production by improving the yield and
quality of crops. Several studies assessed the economic value of pollination services …
