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 ecosystems throughout North America. For example, most fruit, vegetable, and seed crops a…
Insects pollinate around 70% of crops globally. Facing climate change and declining bee populations, it is critical to conserve pollinators to maintain an adequate food supply for a growing human population. Pollinator declines have been linked to decreasing habitat and food res…
Many ecosystems depend on fire to maintain appropriate habitats and to trigger important life history events, such as flowering or seed germination. Historically, fires were often patchy, but due to fire suppression and other human actions, burns have become more homogenous. How…
Pollination is a vital ecosystem service that supports and maintains ecosystems globally. Additionally, pollination has high economic value to humans and is essential for our global food production requirements. Recent threats to pollination services and declines in insect polli…
