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 …

The acute decline in global biodiversity includes not only the loss of rare species, but also
the rapid collapse of common species across many different taxa. The loss of pollinating …

Many insect species are under threat from the anthropogenic drivers of global change.
There have been numerous well‐documented examples of insect population declines and …

Wild bees are highly valuable pollinators. Along with managed honey bees, they provide a
critical ecosystem service by ensuring stable pollination to agriculture and wild plant …

Loss of natural habitat through land‐use change threatens bees. Urbanisation is a major,
increasing form, of habitat loss, and a novel, pervasive form of disturbance known to impact …

Billions of hectares of natural ecosystems have been degraded through human actions. The
global community has agreed on targets to halt and reverse these declines, and the …

The relationship between pesticides and pollinators, while attracting no shortage of attention
from scientists, regulators, and the public, has proven resistant to scientific synthesis and …

Effective monitoring is necessary to provide robust detection of bee declines. In the United
States and worldwide, bowl traps have been increasingly used to monitor native bees and …

Global biodiversity monitoring is urgently needed across the world to assess the impacts of
environmental change on biodiversity. One way to increase monitoring is through citizen …
