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 …

Insects other than bees (ie, non-bees) have been acknowledged as important crop
pollinators, but our understanding of which crop plants they visit and how effective they are …

Insects are of increasing conservation concern as a severe decline of both biomass and
biodiversity have been reported. At the same time, data on where and when they occur in …

Given the marked differences in environmental conditions and active biota between daytime
and nighttime, it is almost inevitable that ecosystem functioning will also differ. However …

Existing assessments of the ecosystem service of pollination have been largely restricted to
diurnal insects, with a particular focus on generalist foragers such as wild and honey bees …

Urban expansion is correlated to negative biodiversity trends. The amount of impervious
surfaces in urban areas is a determinant of pollinator species assemblages. While the …

Pesticide exposure can be harmful to insect pollinators and the ecosystem services they
provide. As many pesticide guidelines warn against applying such products when …

Current notions of “pollinator decline” and “pollination crisis” mainly arose from studies on
pollinators of economic value in anthropogenic ecosystems of mid‐latitude temperate …

Successful pollination in animal‐pollinated plants depends on the temporal overlap
between flower presentation and pollinator foraging activity. Variation in the temporal …

Floral scent often intensifies during periods of pollinator activity, but the degree of this
synchrony may vary among scent compounds depending on their function. Related plant …
