Pollinating species are in decline globally, with land use an important driver. However, most
of the evidence on which these claims are made is patchy, based on studies with low …

1. Pollinators are a functional group with high relevance for ensuring cross-pollination in
wild plant populations and yields in major crops. Both pollinator declines and losses of …

Urban areas are growing worldwide and alter landscapes in a persistent fashion, thereby
affecting biodiversity and ecosystem services such as pollination in a little understood way …

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 …

Changes in climate and land use are major threats to pollinating insects, an essential
functional group. Here, we unravel the largely unknown interactive effects of both threats on …

Understanding the causes and consequences of pollinator declines is a priority in ecological
research. However, across much of the globe we have a poor understanding of pollinator …

While an increasing number of studies indicate that the range, diversity and abundance of
many wild pollinators has declined, the global area of pollinator-dependent crops has …

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

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 …

Insect pollinator biodiversity is changing rapidly, with potential consequences for the
provision of crop pollination. However, the role of land use–climate interactions in pollinator …
